The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.

I love stepping onto the ice knowing I can create whatever I want or am feeling that day. It inspires me to be creative and artistic. It's a great therapeutic outlet to utilize both my heart and body at the same time.

Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.

The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

Career-wise, I was not the most naturally talented ice skater. Of course I had a knack for it , but practice was always the answer for me. I needed to put in the time to get back the confidence that led me to Olympic gold.

As long as I leave my frustration behind, I know I am moving toward my goal again.
