I didn't make the decision, it was up to the committee. The criticism I can't do anything about. Right now its just the competition and the Olympics, going for it and having fun.
It is a common injury for athletes, to the groin. I was confident when I put in the petition I was giving 100 percent. I listen to my body every day.
It feels awesome. When I first put in the petition I believed I would be 100 percent at the Olympics, and I still believe it.
I feel I'm capable of being 100 percent for the Olympics, and that's why I put this petition in -- I feel I have a chance to win.
There's a lot of emotions that always come out after a skate of a lifetime. I always start crying because there is so much buildup to that competition.
