Winning is not about how many medals you get-it's about accomplishing goals and just being the best you can be!

I needed to turn off the negative voice in my head - I was psyching myself out.

Don't focus on the negative things that can happen, just think about the positive things.

I didn't lose the gold. I won the silver.

If you have nothing in life but a good friend, you're rich.

And what is a gold medal? I'd never really thought about it before Nagano. Now I realize that it's a dream to strive for. I love my silver medal, because it stands for all my dreams and all I'm still capable of fulfilling

Sometimes my body is aching, but I always think, 'Why am I in this? Why do I love it so much?' That's what makes me persevere, that's what makes me keep on going.
