It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.

I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.

Almost nothing is presented to you on a silver platter. You have to really work for it.

When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.

I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.

I learned not to depend on other people. I needed support, but it's you who has to go out and deliver.
