stepanovas:7th Anniversary of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics“It truly felt like, more than any other point in our career, that it was us against the world. It was just the two of us, we were all we had to rely on, and maybe feeling isolated served its own purpose because we were content with our performances. Looking back, we may not have loved our programs, especially the free dance, but it was the best we could do in that moment and we delivered. So when we walked away we were fairly content, and also we do have the ability to watch Meryl and Charlie, for example, they skated so well and probably out-skated us, especially in the free dance, so there was no sense of bitterness or resentment for that. I think that’s true competition, and in fact that’s the beauty of sport.” - Tessa Virtue on winning the silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics (2020) -- source link
