This thread: Women’s free skate press conference #Beijing2022

Trusova: I did do 5 quads - it took me a long long time to achieve this, so I'm really happy with my performance. #Beijing2022

Trusova [about her comments earlier]: For the past 3yrs, I haven't won anything - any important competitions. I was trying to explain this - I was trying to achieve lofty goals, and have more quads. When I did it, I thought I would win. That's how it is #Beijing2022

Sakamoto: I was very surprised that I won bronze. I am simply quite happy. #Beijing2022

Sakamoto: The past 4yrs were very challenge, I struggled during those years. My coaches were very helpful - they didn't give up on me. I am happy I could finish better than at PyeongChang. I am quite happy #Beijing2022

Sakamoto: Wakaba came over to me -almost crying while she congratulated me. After my performance, I was in the green room with her. And when Anna skated, she had to leave the green room, so I told her, I'll catch up with you soon! I never imagined I would get a medal #Beijing2022
