“In our case, we are in a country where the teams ahead of us are just incredibly strong,” said Hawayek. “It pushes us every day to train harder and to be better. It didn’t give us the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics in Pyeongchang. We are first alternates and we’ll be training hard just in case. Hopefully, our success will continue in the next four years and we’ll get the chance to get to Beijing (2022 Olympic Winter Games).”
“Yes, it’s our first medal at an ISU senior Championship event,” said Baker regarding their first ISU senior-level championships. “It was really awesome, it was a new experience for us. We’ve medaled at junior events and sporadically at senior events in Grand Prixs or senior Bs. It was a really cool experience and we hope to do it more often in the future.”
