...Competitive Skaters must be prepared for a lot of work, challenges, self-discipline, and motivation. The desire must be there, but more importantly, your love for the sport.

I come to Fashion Week events in New York City twice a year.

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 want kids to enjoy skating and I think it's a great workout.

No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.

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

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