If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know. Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing.

At school I fought sometimes. Kids were saying that figure skating is sport for the girls. Then I had to prove them wrong.

I try not to think about marks, the first place or gold medal. The most important thing is to show what you are capable of on ice. The rest will come on its own.

What worries me though, is that after all those victories people don't see me as a human being anymore. I am not a machine, I have a heart beating in my chest -not an engine, there's blood in my veins- not oil. I know pain and fatigue. I can lose but I will strive to win everything.

If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know. Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing.

It doesn't matter what kind of result will be in the end. I already win for myself.

Viktor Petrenko and I met at a competition, where I beat him completely accidentally. I felt so embarrassed in front of my idol.
