"I don't know exactly what it is, but I really don't feel, like, nervous or, like, I don't feel the pressure,"
"There's nothing like holding me down, holding me back. I invite it all in. So no matter what happens, like, it's a story. It's a story."
"I had it."
Team USA's figure skating performance has been uneven across disciplines, leaving the women's competition as the primary medal opportunity. Alysa Liu delivered a confident short program and sits third behind Japan's Ami Nakami and Kaori Sakamoto, positioning her to potentially end a 20-year U.S. women's Olympic medal drought. Isabeau Levito made a pleasant Olympic debut and stands eighth going into the free skate. Amber Glenn, a gold-medal favorite and the only U.S. woman landing a triple axel, popped a triple loop into a double, lost seven points, and dropped to twelfth. Liu reports not feeling pressure and embraces the moment.
