#BoyangJin on his physical condition: I tried my best. In practice even doing one jump felt really bad…just to be doing all the jumps and putting all my effort into them I think is already pretty good. In practice yesterday, I told Brian and Tracy I don’t want to do any jumps. “Yesterday I didn’t do any jumps [in my runthrough], I only did two triples because I felt just so bad. This morning’s practice too-I gave every last bit of strength I had just doing two jumps and my body felt very bad. Same as when I got onto the ice during my 6 minute warm up.”

Mens FS press conference #4ContsFigure ✨ How did it feel performing today and what it's like medalling?

#KaoMiura - He's happy! Today was amazing. Before I went on the ice Keegan put such an amazing program and the energy of the rink from that made me skate well.

#JimmyMa 🇺🇸: It was absolutely horrid. I didn't trust my body or my legs. I second-guessed myself at every turn. My back - it's ongoing and it's something I want to get fixed up first. All we could do this week was bandaid it and honestly looking back, it didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to, like in the practice or warm-up. So I just need to trust my body a bit more. I think I was too focused on what could have been and what I needed to do.

#LiamKapeikis 🇺🇸: I was very happy with the 4S at the start. That was something I was hoping to do today. But overall today was very rough, definitely not pleased with how I went. But I think I will learn more from these failures more than I would have from a perfect skate. I think the altitude definitely plays into it but, for me, I'm not 100% sure what was going on. I felt quite good but sometimes it just doesn't go your way. That's why I feel like I need to go over it to figure out what went wrong.

#SihyeongLee 🇰🇷: I feel very tired and I almost died at the end of the program. (laughter) Before the FS, I was concerned about the cardio, not the jumps. I just thought "Just finish the program, just keep breathing in and out." I didn't worry about the jumps at all. My choreographer recommended the music for the SP and FS to me this year. I like the music, the costume and the choreography.

#4ContsFigure Pairs Press Conference #RikuMiura/#RyuichiKihara: We were quite nervous coming into the comp due to the altitude, but despite the small misses, they were so happy that they were able to win the gold medal.

#IsabellaGamez / #AleksandrKorovin 🇵🇭 felt the effects of altitude more in the SP over the FS. Isabella really enjoyed connecting with the audience and the FS is her favourite. Since they train in Florida, it wasn't a big flight over to Colorado. They arrived on Wednesday and tried to adapt quickly to the altitude, which in her opinion was more of a mental challenge than a physical one.
They became a team in 2021 after Marina (Zueva) and Maxim (Trankov) put them together.

#RinkaWatanabe time! This season has been a breakout one! #RinkaWatanabe said Skate Canada was her second big competition... and this whole season was a bunch of Big Competitions! She can't believe it! Sometimes she's scared and feels some pressure.

Music #HanaYoshida likes: She likes to skate happy programs because the audience is also happy! But she also likes a character piece like her free because it's easier. She likes kpop She loves kpop groups but she can't compare to kpop dances 😂 She loves Twice and Niziu the most #HanaYoshida doesn't listen to music while warming up but she does when stretching!

#MoneChiba looks up to skaters like Bradie, Yelim, and Yelim. She really wants to embrace the elegance of skating like they do! She wants to try other jumps to broaden her repertoire! As to what #MoneChiba would like to try? She wants to try something more upbeat for music.

Womens FS press conference at #4ContsFigure 💖 How did you feel your skate?

#HaeinLee - Yesterday she was not nervous but today she was. She kept focus and didn't think of the results. No mistakes in her program and she didn't expect gold. She's happy right now.

#TaraPrasad 🇮🇳 said her energy wasn't quite there today due to recent illness - she hadn't done full run throughs of her programs until last week. At the end of her program she thought "Wow, I'm still alive?" 😂 She loved seeing the Indian flags in the audience because she's never had that much support in an international comp before - she really appreciates it!

#MoneChiba 🇯🇵: On being at her first ISU championship, she says she was nervous, but focused on herself, so she was able do it! She wanted the 3Lz to go more like how she had imaginined it, but it was a little askew in the warm up and she thinks that might have worried her, so she was cautious. She wants to complete a more perfect Lutz in the free!

The #Canadanes set really high goals for themselves, changed the way they’re working at home. They found last season stressful due to the pandemic. They wanted to put less pressure on themselves this season, and have fun because “it will shine through to the performances.” They found it hard losing the connection to the audience, so having regained that, it helped them “find the fire again.” #LaurenceFournierBeaudry mentioned that a lot of the athletes and coaches talked about the challenges of competing at Colorado Springs, so they have ensured

Ice dance RD press conference at #4ContsFigure ✨ How was today's performance!

#MadisonChock/#EvanBates - A wonderful time skating, much joy in their hearts and performance. They felt free and it was a pleasure skating in front of a home crowd

#CarolineGreen/#MichaelParsons 🇺🇸: Michael says it’s unfortunate that he fell, & he didn’t want to join the club, but he’s focused on showing what they can do in the free. Motivation isn’t a bad thing! On their focus between training the Free and the Rhythm, they say they split it 50/50, they’re very different so they don’t necessarily serve each other.

#4ContsFigure pairs SP press conference ✨ How does everyone feel about today's performance:
