“At the start of the competition we were very nervous. But as we heard the crowd cheering we were very happy and the hardship just melted away and I felt better,” said Ryom.

Kim said, “When we heard the crowd cheering we were very excited. We would like to send our thanks to the South Koreans and our fellow Koreans for cheering us on. We were happy to perform here. It was very good for us.”

[…]

“Our goal is to continue and try more and to break the records that we set today. We are satisfied with today’s performance,” said Kim.

“There are still a lot of things left for us to do. We feel somewhat disappointed because in our training we did a whole lot better than the results we got here.”

“We will try our best to improve our score in our next performance. We want to break our record step by step and hope to get better and better.”

Adam Rippon, Let Me Think About It || Olympic Winter Games 2018

George Bernard Shaw wrote in “Back to Methuselah,” “You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.”

And so […] in South Korea, Rippon will glide across his frozen canvas, shimmering and scarred like his path to it, his soul exposed for all the world to see; an artist finally embracing, basking even, in his reflection in the Olympic ice.
