This thread: Pairs short program press conference #Beijing2022
Sui/Han: It doesn't matter what our draw order is - we just want to show our best and enjoy the competition no matter what #Beijing2022
Mishina/Galliamov: We have received many congratulatory messages, and I'm happy. #Beijing2022
Sui/Han: Each competition for us is different, and we have different experiences. But this time the Olympics are in Beijing - we are competing in our home country and they were cheering for us. It empowers us to perform better. #Beijing2022
Sui/Han: We and Vladimir/Evgenia have competed many times and we are friends - and it's been over 10 years. It's wonderful that we compete against each other, and we push each other to improve. #Beijing2022
Sui/Han: Tomorrow we will be showcasing high difficulty tomorrow with a 4Tw, and I hope tomorrow will be very good for both of us #Beijing2022
Tarasova/Morozov: We aren't thinking about the previous Olympics. It's been 4 years and we've all changed - mentally and physically. It's still different #Beijing2022
There was another question/comment that they were having trouble interpreting because of audio issues - but it was something about a video, and Morozov said he saw the video. Will try to get more info #Beijing2022

Meanwhile, in between pairs practice and the pairs competition, there’s gala practice (!!) - Nathan Chen, Boyang Jin, and Vincent Zhou #Beijing2022
Boyang Jin skating to Westlife’s cover of Sarah McLachlan’s Angel for the exhibition. I thought I was in an ASPCA commercial with sad dogs. #Beijing2022
No music runthrus here but I’m pretty sure I just saw Caravan choreography #Beijing2022
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
This thread: Yuzuru Hanyu post-competition press conference (starting at 5:30pm local time) #Beijing2022
Moderator: We are holding this press conference because we have received many requests and we don’t have the time to hold all the individual interviews #Beijing2022
Hanyu: I am very surprised that so many people have gathered today - thanks for the opportunity to speak to you all. The Olympics are held in the closed loop - social distancing is very difficult in the mixed zone, so I wanted to do this press conference here #Beijing2022
Chen: I’m so proud of the US for having two medalists now. This competition was awesome. It’s always great to compete in Japan and to compete in front of a sold-out crowd. It’s great for the sport #WorldFigure
