Beijing 2022 Flash Quotes: Day 10 Morning

Freestyle Skiing Comments from Team GB's Kirsty Muir and Katie Summerhayes after they both qualified in the top 12 for tomorrow's slopestyle final. Muir, who came fifth in the Big Air final earlier in the Games, finished sixth in qualifying with a best run of 70.11 and Summerhayes, who missed out on making the Big Air final by one place, progressed in tenth spot with 66.56. Kirsty Muir Age: 17 Hometown: Aberdeen Result: 6th in qualifying On qualifying "Yeah, I'm really happy to have made it through. I need to clean some things up but I'm really happy." On the first run which took her through "I did have a few mistakes, so I was hoping to clean up the second run. I didn't manage to but going into tomorrow I'm looking forward to it, I just want to clean it up." On qualification being postponed by a day due to the weather "Yesterday's conditions were really tough, so I'm glad today was better and glad to have got through it." On the final tomorrow "Yeah, I'm really excited. I just want to go and get a clean run. See if I can up my run and go and have some fun. "I'm stoked to have Katie in the final with me." Katie Summerhayes Age: 26 Hometown: Sheffield Result: 10th in qualifying On qualifying "Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Obviously, I just squeaked through, it's pretty nice no matter what place you qualify, just so long as tomorrow goes well. "I'm pretty stoked to get another chance." On her first run being her best run on the scoreboard "No, that run was pretty bad. I landed sideways on a jump so that's not good and there were a couple of mistakes in both of the runs. "It's quite nice going forward to tomorrow knowing that I can clean both runs up. I'm pretty pumped, it has given me a little bit of confidence as well." On qualification being postponed by a day due to the weather "It feels pretty weird because yesterday we prepped for the comp, and we were almost ready to go and they cancelled it. "Although it seems like we did nothing, it was a really intense day so we had an extra day of it really." On the final tomorrow "I'm pretty stoked. Obviously with Kirsty as well it's great. Stoked to be here and represent Team GB again." Figure Skating Comments from Team GB's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson after they finished tenth in the ice dance. The British duo scored 115.19 for their free dance routine to a medley of songs from the Lion King after scoring 76.45 in the rhythm dance on Saturday. Lilah Fear Age: 22 Hometown: London Result: 10th On the performance "It was so much fun and everything we wanted, it was the feeling we'd been visualising up to this point. It's hard to not look at the scores but we are just trying to feel anchored to this moment. "It's hard not to look at the scores and it's hard to compare competition to competition but the performance was definitely better than the Europeans [where they came fifth]." On the future "I feel such confidence leaving this experience, we completed two really good performances at the Olympics. It can be daunting but knowing we can do it just fills us with optimism. "Knowing we've done it well is the biggest thing, we didn't shy away from the experience. "We're excited to go and train with everyone on the team at Montreal. There will be so much growth for everyone over the next four years. A new Olympic quad brings such excitement." On Torvill and Dean after skating exactly 38 years after their gold medal win in Sarajevo "We know this is a special day for British ice skating. They sent us a video message wishing us good luck and we had a Zoom call with them before we left where they expressed their belief in us and that made us feel so empowered before our Olympic debut." Lewis Gibson Age: 27 Hometown: Scotland; Prestwick Result: 10th On their partnership "Maturity is a big part of the sport, we've been together six years which sounds a long time but it's not in ice dancing terms. We want to keep jumping up the rankings." Snowboard Comments from Team GB's Katie Ormerod after she finished 25th in qualification for the women's snowboard Big Air, with only the top 12 progressing to the final. Ormerod finished 18th in the slopestyle on Day 1 of the Games. Katie Ormerod Age: 24 Hometown: Brighouse Result: 25th On the performance "I knew I could do these tricks, these are the ones I usually do for qualification. I got it on my second jump and then I decided to go for my cab 9 as I knew I needed that to go into the finals. "Unfortunately I just didn't quite make it to the landing. Although it really sucks, I struggled with this jump all week. Today I just thought I'm going to give it everything." On finally competing at an Olympics after breaking her heel in training in PyeongChang "To compete I had to overcome so many demons to even get to the start gate knowing that four years ago I almost ended my career in an accident at the Olympics [in training]. "It was really challenging to do that and I worked so hard over the last four years to get back here and prove that it is possible to come back from a bad injury and realise my dream of competing at an Olympics. "The thing I wanted to do here was to inspire back home and show how fun snowboarding is and I know I have already done that from the messages I've got." On whether the Big Air jump is bigger than usual "I don't know why I struggled. When I first looked at it I was so relieved as it looked great. "But then when I started jumping it I was going as fast as I could and still struggling to get deep enough into the landing to do my tricks on my training days. "I spoke to my coach and we did everything we could." On getting over her demons after such a serious injury that required seven operations and 18 months of rehab "Definitely. You saw the relief on my face after slopestyle, it was just the biggest relief because I knew my injury was gone. That's in the past now, it's part of my story and my history but I can move on fully now and look forward knowing I've done my best here. I was gutted not to make it through to the finals but I still tried my hardest." On her motivation for 2026 and translating great World Cup seasons into the Olympics "It's a shame that my results don't reflect the kind of snowboarding I do. "Just a few weeks ago, I came fourth against the same girls in slopestyle. It's just how it goes - some courses suit me better than others, sometimes it's just how it goes. "I'm hoping that people will see the other results that I've got over the last four years and be proud of that as well." On what she has learned from the process "I've learned that I can overcome anything. I'm a lot stronger than I even thought before coming here. "I knew that I'd done amazingly to just even qualify. Even qualifying itself is not easy because you've seen the standard of riding, it's high." On how the event has moved on and how she has tried to keep up "Women's snowboarding right now is so exciting to be a part of. It's progressing every year and the final is going to be crazy. "It's exciting to be a part of that and I want to keep up with that and I have been doing. "It takes a lot of hard work. That's why I love snowboarding, I love the challenge and how fun it is. That is the start of it, the progression and I want to keep developing." On whether it feels bittersweet "Yeah. Obviously I'd have loved to have made the finals and showed the kind of snowboarding I wanted to show here, because I've been working so hard to show everyone back home what I do work for."
