I have watched every Opening Ceremony growing up and always dreamed about walking into a Games. When I walked in, the first thing I felt was that I am really part of it. ... The minute they said, 'And now the United States of America,' you got such a rush.
I wouldn't jeopardize Shauna, my closest friend. I knew what it's meant to her to get to the games and as much as I wanted to be here, if I didn't think I could do it, I would have taken myself out of the sled. I didn't want to have on my conscience us not doing well because of me.
My preference would be to start as early as possible. I get extremely nervous. I can't eat all day long. I just want to get up there and get it over with.
I had been sliding all year with Shauna, and we had done so well. Then I thought, this was what we had been working so hard for and then ... we got to the Games and I'm not even going to slide. It was a little unnerving.
