I felt like he deserved to win that season.
That was his last season.
He ended up coming back to be like a judge and whatever, but that was his goodbye season.
And he said it was like his last season.
He was retiring and he poured his heart and soul into that season.
Like his choreography, his creative mastery.
Like I've never seen, I'd never seen that before.
The amount of effort.
And so when he got second, I didn't really care as much, but I really cared for him.
So the second didn't bother me.
It bothered me for him.
He deserved it.
At the Olympics, I won three silvers and a gold medal.
And this is just how my brain worked in my sport.
I knew my sport inside and out.
I knew what I was capable of.
I knew what other people were capable of.
My silver medal in the all-around was my favorite medal that I won.
I could not have done any better.
My gold medal was not my best performance.
