Kat and I were in our 20s when we won in '88. Our personalities were already established. We were ready to move on to a life of professional skating. ↗

Plus the public's attention span is so short right now, if a skater doesn't strike while the iron is hot... well it's not like people will forget you, but they just won't care anymore. ↗

That's what amateur skating is about, technical expertise, and it should always stay that way. ↗

The Olympics are great for notoriety right off the bat, but your body of work is what people remember you for. ↗

Yeah, I am a little bit, and I think it is a natural progression of the sport, of going upwards in technical ability and everything like that. ↗
