• Kathleen Rose on Alexei Yagudin: “In our country, they simply don’t teach skating. They teach you to jump, jump, and jump. Then people wonder why the component scores are so low.”
• Kathleen Rose on Tatiana Tarasova: “It’s unfair that the IOC does not suspend American athletes. I don’t understand why we have to be held responsible for everything.”
