This thread: Men’s free skate press conference at #WorldFigure

Uno: I'm just happy about all of this because in both programs, I did better than what I expected. In the FS, there were mistakes here and there, I was able to put together the best performance I could do, so I'm very happy #WorldFigure

Cha: I'm very happy about the medal today, and about how I skated and what I did today. I really trained hard and I really want to enjoy today - and I gave everything, so I'm very happy about it #WorldFigure

Malinin: I'm just very grateful for the performance that I put out -I've worked so hard the past few weeks to prep for it. I can't thank all the skaters, coaches, volunteers enough to make this competition possible. It's one of my favorite comps that I've competed at #WorldFigure

Uno: If you look back at my long career, I've had similar experiences [re: bad practices]. There are always people behind me to support me - injuries, bad shape. In the past it was my family; now it's Marin, Stephane, and my entire team supporting me #WorldFigure

Malinin: The main reason I play soccer to warm up because I enjoyed it as a kid. I incorporate it in my warmup because it just warms up my whole body - I just do some tricks and I warm up pretty well #WorldFigure

Cha: If I think about Worlds, it's always not good memories for me. But finally, I have a great memory. I had to withdraw last year because the hook on my boots broke. #WorldFigure

Cha: This season, I had to change my skates right before I came here because the hook broke again. But last year's experience helped me here. I'm always so grateful that I can skate with great skaters #WorldFigure

Malinin: Couple things I noticed about this comp - sometimes, practices don't go how you want them to go, and it's not a huge part in how you compete. It's beneficial to have good practice - but it comes down to how you feel right when you get on the ice #WorldFigure

Malinin: I also learned that, sometimes, it's ok to lower the risk and go for a cleaner skate - that may be beneficial to do next season, to lower the standards a bit. #WorldFigure

Cha [on 3 spots for Korea]: It's the happiest part for me - after Beijing, I was talking to my teammates and family, maybe the next Olympics, I can give 3 spots for the Korean men. It's such an honor to earn that for next Worlds #WorldFigure

Uno: If I were the person watching a program, I would be attracted to a program that resonates with people's hearts. I've been skating for so long, and I know that going into comps, I have to control my emotions. #WorldFigure

Uno: Sometimes comps are stressful and I can't perform like I trained or overthink or be afraid of making mistakes. But I went through all of this, I realized I just need to perform the way I trained. #WorldFigure

Uno: I watched my GPF performance, it was good but it didn't resonate with people's hearts. Delivering the results is good, but looking at what I want as a skater is important, so I'm going to keep on pushing for that from now on #WorldFigure

Uno: Although I don't speak much English, every time I see Ilia and Junhwan, we greet each other with big smiles. We don't need language, we just know that we like each other a lot. #WorldFigure

Uno: Ilia came over after he skated in the SP and told me he was concerned about my injury and encouraged me and told me I can do it. So we are good buddies even though we compete against each other #WorldFigure

Cha: We are all great friends. As a competitor, we are focused on the competition. But outside of it, we are always talking to each other and very friendly. I always want to be a good friend and skate together #WorldFigure

Malinin: We are not really competing against each other, and more against ourselves. Outside competition, we have good communications even if we don't speak each other's languages. We always support each other - it's the great thing about figure skating #WorldFigure

Malinin: With the 4A, I'm really honored that I could get the points I got here. It means so much to me - you have to take risks and you look back, and there's no need to take the risks and stay clean #WorldFigure

Malinin: For the components, doing these difficult jumps, you put so much energy in that you can't really perform the way you want to. Next season, I really want to focus on performing to the audience #WorldFigure
