You can't usually fall twice and still make an Olympic team. Until I went down, though, I'd been doing very well. I just told myself that one mistake probably wouldn't beat me.
More Quotes from Matt Savoie:
Doubling the flip was a bit uncharacteristic as I haven't done that in over two years. I didn't run out of room for the second jump. My leg was swinging too wild and I couldn't control it enough for the second triple but that wasn't as important as landing the (triple) Axel.Matt Savoie
I didn't set out to prove I could win national medals from Peoria, Illinois. But that's where I live, and everything I need is there.

Lori Parker, one of our assistant team leaders here in Calgary has a daughter attending Kansas, who Bradley already beat this tournament so I had fun teasing her about that.

I tends to be more motivated by the things I do wrong than when I skate well. I always want to improve even when I do have a strong performance in competition.

I think we're very strong. This season has been complicated obviously because this is an Olympic year and there are injuries. But at nationals I felt even though there were mistakes throughout the field, we're definitely sending a strong team, especially with Evan, the world bronze medalist, and Johnny's skating well. I think we're in good standing going in.
