You have to be pretty fortunate to do multiple games and have a shot at medals.
What I find about Olympic games is there's so many fantastic stories, and the celebration of sport, and to be involved in that is the honor of our lifetime.
We want to go out and bring the house down. Anything short of that, we get disappointed.
When we think about making the people in the audience happy, or trying to make them feel something, it kind of goes to waste. Usually we have our best skates when we just think about each other, and we just think about being in unison, and think about the program we're trying to do.

2017 was probably one of the hardest years of my life. There were a lot of personal struggles. I lost some very important people. I had a best friend and then a grandfather pass away.
