I will remember all the days at the Olympics.

My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.

Winning doesn't always mean being first.

Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to do with anybody else.

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.

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

Anytime you ride against the best in the world, it becomes a learning process.
