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

I'm almost a full-time mom.

Family is always the most important part.

So I step into the future, as bravely as I'm able, with my heart longing for a time I'll never see again.

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

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.'

The life is a wonderful thing. You have to appreciate it NOW... because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.
