Almost nothing is presented to you on a silver platter. You have to really work for it. ↗

As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember. ↗

Competitions make me nervous. When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating and not, 'I have to do this to win.' I forget it is a competition. ↗

I don't want to compete. I want to skate for the joy. I get so nervous in competition. I get always sick. I had pressures enough in my life from skating. ↗

I learned not to depend on other people. I needed support, but it's you who has to go out and deliver. ↗

I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs. ↗

I can't say, 'It doesn't matter if you win or lose.' It's not true. You go in to win. ↗
