I am kind of like a diesel. It is the cyclist in me.

With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. Especially in an endurance sport.

That's what is most satisfying, is having overcome that pain. Pain that is so intense that when you finish, it feels like you're going to die. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got.

I love skating so much and I feel like every time I step out onto the ice, that's what I'm meant to do.

I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression.

All the physical comes from the mental.
