The first gold medal we had won for the Soviet Union. This one we won for each other.

She (Daria) has Sergei's wide and ready smile, so beautiful to me.

Family is always the most important part.

I love that I have a job that I love.

I'm almost a full-time mom.

Sometimes it bothers me that people now only recognize me because of tragedy. But I've come to understand that people really care and worry for me. I feel I should say to every person I meet, 'I'm fine. Daria's fine. Life goes on.'

I like to cook good meals, especially when I have a lot of time.
