I was surprised when ordsprog

I was surprised when I learned I would be for sure getting a bronze and even more surprised when I going to be getting a silver. It was kind of like, oh that's nice. But over the last four years, I changed as a person. My focus is not on the medal. For me it's the experience and the process and enjoying it.

It's very nice to have two silver medals. Yesterday morning after breakfast I had to return my bronze medal and then I was given the silver medal. So, all in all, it is very nice.

In the ski jump someone did the math wrong, and for 50 years the wrong person had the bronze medal. It wasn't until 1974 that a bunch of Norwegian historians got together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Winter Games, and one of them looked at the statistics in the ski jump and realized that an American, Anders Haugen, had actually won the bronze medal, and a Norwegian had gone to his grave thinking he had won. But Haugen was still alive--he was 85--and he finally got his bronze medal.

I expected a bronze medal, maybe. When I saw I was second I was very surprised, very happy.

Our guys played well. It was a great experience. They have to get wound up to play in the bronze medal game now. That always doesn't seem that enviable when you're preparing for that game, but long-term, not everybody has an Olympic bronze medal either. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness.

The best memory is probably the bronze medal game and winning the bronze medal. Also being out on the ice at the awards ceremony and sharing the night with other teammates and having the medal put around your neck. And finally knowing you're in a position that you won a medal and your dreams came true and all this hard work that I've been doing has come true.

I think over the past four years, I have changed as a person - because my focus is not on the medal. None of the medals I have at home, I even know where they are - they're in shoe boxes and random places.

Before the Olympics, I would have been surprised if you had told me that Canada and the USA would not get a medal. But after I got here and saw the way the (European) teams are playing, I am not very surprised.

They are two great champions. I have beaten two of the best skaters in the world. I think every athlete who wins a gold medal is surprised but I knew I was skating fast so I'm not surprised about that.

This is going to be such a huge event for my family, my friends. It's going to be such a fun experience. My dad won a bronze in 1956 and now, 50 years later, going back to the same country, I'm going to try and win a medal as well.

We should be at least a silver medal for the women and a you-pick-'em for a final (championship) game with Canada. For the men, Canada will be the favorite, with the U.S., Russia and Sweden probably making up the rest of the final four. The U.S. should be in a position for a bronze medal.

He's pushed skating more than anyone I can think of. Being on the podium with him really is an honor. This bronze medal means a lot more to me than the silver I won last year.

I'm not disappointed with bronze today because the big difference is between gold and silver, not silver and bronze.

Obviously, we're proud to go home with a medal. We had to fight for every ounce of that bronze. A few shots here or there could have turned into a silver or gold. We can't hang our heads about that.

For a rookie, he did pretty good with a gold, silver and bronze. I think he learned a ton.
