People are really sick of seeing the winner not win and what the public thinks should happen.

There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.

It was never about winning medals or being famous.

Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.

It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas - but I did too!
