Growing up, you always dream of winning a gold medal. But coming into these Games, it wasn't something I was focused on. I'm just enjoying skating. This is the best season ever. I think that this year, my 3,000 meters has been stronger than the 1,500. The 1,500 has been anybody's race this year. When I was first, I still didn't know if that was enough.

I'm so proud of how well Canada did at the Games here. It think we're going to do even better in 2010.

The Canadians have really stepped it up these Olympics. It looks very promising for Vancouver.

We're all doing it for the love of the sport. We want to make Canada proud. I'm so fortunate to skate in a country like Canada.

Coming into the Games I knew I was in five events but I didn't expect to get a medal in every distance, especially the 5,000.

I've won a medal, but that's nothing compared to the crown I'll get in Heaven. I see a lot of people in sports who think when they reach a certain level they've got it made, but really, you can only find happiness in the Lord.
