I stood there (on the medal podium) in disbelief. It was a really special moment. I wouldn't have been there without (my parents).

The silver medal ... is still a silver medal. The USA is on the podium anyway.

I'm extremely happy that I could win the gold medal. It's a special moment in my career.

I had no idea what Emanuel had done.

I think we can both feel good about what we did. Last year (in London), we both did a good long and that's it. This year, we each had three solid skates. I know I'm happy with what I did.

He's pushed skating more than anyone I can think of. His consistency is incredible.
