I have learned from the first Olympics, of course. When I went to my first Olympic Games, I experienced all of the pressure and was able to win the gold medal. I try not to feel the pressure, and I try not to be nervous when I am on the ice and when I compete.

The magic never worked! The only thing we’re left with is regret.

If I walk in the street in Korea, I am recognized.

Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.

The people who should be here aren’t. The ones who should be smiling with me aren’t here.

Where there is peace, there is sports; where there is sports, there is peace. Peace is what allows us, especially young people, to dream, go after ones goals and prepare you for the next challenge in life.

I learned to practice smiling when I'm feeling sad, you know?
