I use Graf Edmonton for boots and John Wilson blades.

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.

I took some time off to enjoy my life, but figure skating is something I love and something I will continue doing for the rest of my life.

And still I'm not completely happy with my skating. I always feel I can do more and climb higher.

I have a lot of different stages in my life when training has been easy or hard. Now, it seems that I have been training for so long that it has become almost second nature to me.

First, I have to thank God for giving me the gift that he did as well as a second chance for a better life.
