Skating has always been a major area of interest to me.

I love attention. I love going to events and photo shoots... I enjoy it all; the clothing, the makeup, the excitement.

I eat a variety of foods like vegetables, fruit and beef for protein and iron.

A year ago I had a back injury and followed a good nutrition program to help speed up my recovery. I focused on exercise and staying healthy in order to get back out on the ice.

The Olympics is about showing what you've done with your life, your dream as an athlete and sharing that with the World.

I really liked the food in Japan. There is something so organized, neat, and methodical about it. They put a lot of care and quality into their cooking. I also love Mediterranean, New American, and Italian food, because the cuisines borrow influences from all over the world.

Cardio is tough after a day of skating, but with my iPod I can get into the moment and complete the cardio training for the day.
