SHORT PROGRAM PAIRS
Alexa Scimeca & ndash; & Ldquo; We are very proud and happy for the achievements. After having participated in the Nebelhorn Trophy, we have tackled the choreography from scratch. We especially found the fire and the emotions & egrave; You must carry on the track when you skate. Today, in this sense, we felt great. I think our goal should be to allow everyone in the audience to try something & rdquo ;.
Cong Han & ndash; & Ldquo; This stage of Grand Prix & egrave; It was our first international competition this season. We are happy to be here, but we were really nervous. We could not know what would be the reaction of the judges and the audience in front of our programs. The 'error on top? Maybe the 'I committed because & egrave; last night I slept too much ... ".
Lei Wang & ndash; & Ldquo; It & rsquo; the first time that we race in the United States. We had to adapt to the time zone and we are still asleep. When we got here, the first question I asked myself & egrave; if I was awake or still sleeping & rdquo;
FEMALE SHORT PROGRAM
Evgenia Medvedeva & ndash; & Ldquo; Overall I am quite satisfied. C & rsquo; & egrave; It has been some small imperfections on the combination, but does not think it has a negative impact on performance. It & rsquo; the second consecutive season that I perform all elements of jump in the second half & agrave ;. All & rsquo; & egrave beginning; It has been difficult, but now I'm used to it and this strategy allows me to collect more & ugrave; points & rdquo ;.
Gracie Gold & ndash; & Ldquo; I am really satisfied with my performance today, but in a sense also a bit & rsquo; frustrated. I run so many elements at best, but I wonder why it never manages to complete all planned jumps in the short program & rdquo ;.
Satoko Miyahara & ndash; & Ldquo; I was pretty nervous, but I'm happy not to have committed big mistakes on the elements of jump & rdquo ;.

SHORT DANCE
Evan Bates & ndash; & Ldquo; After the Nebelhorn Trophy we decided to completely change our short-dance. L & rsquo; objective & egrave; It was to play something elegant and sophisticated, taking as a reference the ballroom dancing. Considering the short time available, & egrave; stressful been able to prepare in time for this event. If we look at the calendar, we can not but be excited about what you did in the race & rdquo;
Nikita Katsalapov & ndash; & Ldquo; We are really excited. Skate America & egrave; It was the first race of the season and today we had a good day. We did a good job on the track and & egrave; giggle was skating. Thanks are due to the public. In the free dance, we will fight for sure. "
Piper Gilles & ndash; & Ldquo; We skated very well and we are satisfied with today's performance because & eacute; & Egrave; easy to make a mistake in this type of program. We can be happy about what has been done today, but there are many issues on which we have to improve. "
MALE SHORT PROGRAM
Max Aaron & ndash; & Ldquo; Having reached 86 points & egrave; significant, but are more & ugrave; happy to have made the race because usually I can do in training. The numbers do not count for me. My goal & egrave; skate two clean programs. Right now they are only halfway & agrave; road. I'm already & agrave; thinking the free program and it turns me on & rdquo ;.
Han Yan & ndash; & Ldquo; I think today's performance has been pretty good. I made a mistake on the combination, but I had fun to skate and I'm pretty pleased with my performance. "
Konstantin Menshov & ndash; & Ldquo; I am satisfied with my performance. In Russia now it's six in the morning. I did not feel nervous, although I had to fight a bit & rsquo; drowsiness. I made a mistake on the triple axel, perhaps because & eacute; Track & egrave; a bit & rsquo; pi & ugrave; closer than habits. Now what more & ugrave; important & egrave; find the concentration for the free program & rdquo ;.
