The sport I love has taken me around the world and shown me many things.

I'm definitely going to miss hearing the sound of that gun.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would accomplish what I have in the sport

I don't remember the first time I skated on ice, I was too young. I do remember falling in love with that wind-in-my-face feeling while speed skating.

I love short track. I competed in short track, I was a world champion in 1986 but at that point in time it wasn't in the Olympic Games so I moved into long track. Short track is a blast to skate and it's a blast to watch.

A lot of people think I'm under a lot of pressure with my family and friends spending all that money to follow me around

I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.
