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.

For an athlete myself, it is especially meaningful for our country to host an Olympics. Every athlete hopes to participate in an Olympics, so I still can't believe the games of dreams is going to take place in Korea.

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

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

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

I like to be just an athlete, but if I go to competition and compete, I love to be a star, maybe.

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.
