And that was like an exclamation mark on my belief, my belief that all this sacrifice, all this passion is going to pay off. I knew it was going to pay off. I knew it was going to turn into something great. And I was determined to make that happen.

Well, this is how I recount it, right? The only reason I'm the first one to land a quad Lutz in Olympic history and not someone else is because my starting order was earlier because my world ranking was lower because that was actually my first year competing as a senior internationally.

So I hadn't accumulated world ranking points yet that moved my starting position earlier than other skaters in the competition who are also doing the quad Lutz and also did it successfully in the short program. I think it's just, you call it luck or whatever, that I ended up taking that title.

But I think the true story of the Quad Lutz has to go back a few years when I and a couple others around the world were actually starting to try it. Because you see, at the time, people didn't really think Quad Lutz was a thing. It was like... I don't know. It's like humans have always had the capability of innovating certain things earlier in time.

It's just that nobody was really aware of it, so they didn't do it. But they technically had the ability to, right? That's how I see it. And that doesn't make it any less impressive, because if anything, I think overcoming a mental barrier is even more difficult than overcoming a physical barrier. So for me, I'd always had this idea that Lutz was like the cool jump. It was the cool jump to do.

And basically in skating, there's six types of jumps and the axle is a bit of a special case. So we'll. rule that out for now, excluding the axle, the Lutz is the hardest jump, the highest scoring jump. So I'd always had a special thing for a Lutz. I used to do it hundreds of times as a kid to the point where I got better at triple Lutz's than any other triple.

And before I had learned my quadruple lots, I learned a couple of other quadruples. So I was like, if I can do those other quadruples and my lots is better than those jumps, then I should be able to theoretically do a quad lots even more easily than my other quads. So, so that's what I was saying earlier about wanting to test my theory, but not being allowed to, cuz it was too out of the box.
