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 fear anything.

I just hope I can get another personal best. If I can do that, I'll be satisfied.

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

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

It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories.

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.
