Halverson's 'big adventure' continues at the U.S. Championships (Q&A)

Diane (New York, USA): Eliot, how would you rate the season so far?
Eliot: This season has been a big adventure. I've had many ups and downs, but through it all I have learned so much. The competitions haven't gone exactly as planned, but isn't that skating? I've kept my head up high and have continued working hard all season long.

Cathleen (Colorado, USA): One of the problems in Romania is that you had a lot of your triples were downgraded. I've seen your beautiful jumps before, when you won your title in Spokane, so I was quite shocked about the downgrades. What was your reaction?
Eliot: Immediately after it happened, I felt like I just got slapped in the face. I was very confused! I decided to turn it into a blessing in disguise and improve my skating. If one person thought there was something wrong, I would change and make sure no one thought there was a problem.
