What makes you really come together under pressure is determination and focus and toughness.

My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

My advice is that going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal are great goals, but the real goal should be to be the best that you can be.

Just because you didn't start out perfect doesn't mean you can't have an excellent result in the end.

But I like it when my patients are impressed not knowing that I was an Olympian.

Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.

I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals.
