These big jumps take a big toll on the body, especially a young body. So, it's kind of risk or reward, I guess.

Sometimes thinking about the Olympics makes me a little nervous.

Every competition is different... You can't plan for everything that happens.

I began skating when I was 3. It was during 2002, the year the Olympics were held in Salt Lake City.

If the jump is perfect, you come out, and you feel like you took a three-pointer in basketball or doing the perfect thing in whatever your sport is. You just get that adrenaline rush, a sense of satisfaction, like you want to do it again and again.

I love jumping. I have always loved jumping. I love watching jumps. I love doing jumps.

I think my parents felt us being a minority a little bit more than I did, and they tried to shelter me from that so I didn't feel it at all.

Emma Watson definitely is my celebrity crush. I love 'Harry Potter.' Plus, she's gorgeous, which really helps.

Just being here at the Olympics is pretty incredible in itself. Seeing the unity of the athletes and to see how everyone has worked so hard to get here - and we are all so excited to be here - it's awesome to be able to experience it.

I have my own life to live.

Skating is a sport that I found a lot of interest in from a very, very young age. Ultimately, I think that being on the ice, being in the cold, and trying things and challenging myself in different ways is something that made me really interested in skating.

I think that ballet and skating definitely go hand in hand, especially growing up at Ballet West, which is an incredible academy.

To have all of these jumps in my arsenal is very beneficial. I can always alter my program so I can either play it safe, or I can play it risky with high reward. It depends on what I feel like I need that day.

I'm the baby for sure. My siblings are looking out for me, making sure I'm not doing something stupid. They are making sure my head is set straight and that I'm a good person outside of skating and inside of it, too.

Regardless of what I do, no matter how good it is, it's never, in my mind, 'flawless.'

Netflix isn't available internationally all the time, but the NBA is. It's nice to have something that feels like home.

A lot of the things I do outside the rink are just to relax and recover. We spend so much time at the rink, so it's nice to decompress a little.

I began skating in the official practice venue of the 2002 Games. It was a huge Olympic atmosphere with Apollo Ohno sitting on the wall every day when I walked into the rink. That was really cool and very inspiring to see.

That's something I'm actually very interested in doing, helping young skaters.

I really enjoy traveling to... I went to Spain. That was really cool. Japan was really cool. France was really cool.

I want to do something in medicine, for sure. I don't know what, exactly, that entails, but something along those lines.

Largely, I began skating because I wanted stuff to do outside of school. My mom decided to put me into figure skating.

I really wanted to play hockey. My mom thought figure skates looked easier to use, so she put me in the learn-to-skate program.

I try to get as close to 10 hours of sleep each night, as sleep is the best form of recovery.

From a logistical standpoint, I learned about when to peak, when to push, when to recover throughout the season.

I want to get another Olympic medal outside the team event.

Skating is a very beautiful sport, and I love watching new programs.

I do very scientific-based training. However, for skating, that's a little bit out of the ordinary. Many skaters base their off-ice training around plyometrics, whereas mine is very strength- and power-based.

My skating career won't last forever.

I celebrate my hardworking parents and all the opportunities they gave me.

Ever since I was a younger skater, I've been working my way to these big jumps.

It's something I have to remind myself about, that at every competition, I put a lot of pressure on myself, almost like it's the end of the world, and I have to keep reminding myself it's not.

Once I landed the triple Salchow, I put it in the program. First landed triple toe, straight into the program. That's what I did with my quad suite.

I like the challenge and instant gratification of landing a new jump or learning a new element. That made me fall in love with the sport.

Throughout the day, I'll snack a lot. I always have some breakfast cereal, like Kellogg's cereal, something on hand, so that I can just quickly get some carbs in.

My parents always enforce the idea of never giving up upon all of my siblings and me, and I think that's something that will stick with me my whole life.

It's reassuring knowing that people are supporting me and want to know more about me. It comes with being the national champion and making the Olympic team. I think that it's telling me I'm on the right path.

I've been working on it a lot, trying to find the artistic balance, trying to find purpose in my movement combined with the jumps.

I genuinely dislike sequins.

Half of learning a new element is just getting over the fear of doing it. Once you mentally prepare yourself enough to do the jump, that is really half the battle.

I've skated after Yuzu a handful of times. The only thing I can take away from it is to be prepared for the Pooh-bears to be raining down from the audience.

Maybe it's innate: I have a body built to jump.

There are always times when you don't want to go to the rink, or you don't want to do all the things you're supposed to do. Sometimes you're exhausted, or it's been a long week, but I always remind myself that this is my Olympic dream and the passion, because I love the sport very much.

I am a first-generation American of Chinese decent. My parents were both born and raised in China and moved to the U.S. in their 20s.

I tend to be a little bit more quiet and just to myself. I'm a little bit more introverted than extroverted.

My Chinese name is Chen Wei. I can speak a tiny, tiny bit, just basically get around, but I understand it decently well.

My family and parents were very influential in my skating career.

I can't decide the results, but I can still put my best foot forward and try the best I can.

It's been a dream of mine to be selected on the U.S. Olympic team as long as I can remember.

The Olympics have really motivated me, ever since I started skating as a little kid.
