I can do the tricks and I can skate. I have great skating skills and artistry and well-choreographed programs. For me, the biggest obstacle is just bringing it all together.

I have great artistry, I can spin well, I have good footwork, and I can jump. I can do the quad jump, and I've done it multiple times in competition. It's definitely a jump that I have in my arsenal. I like to think of myself as the complete skater.

He's got strong programs. He's got a lot of the basics and he could come through. The material and artistry are there. He's a player (for an Olympic medal), for sure.

Actually, I learned to skate when I was 3, but didn't get interested in figure skating until I was 6.
