“It was always so nice to step away from figure skating and school with hockey. To this day I'm still a huge fan.”

“The most important thing is being passionate about what you're doing and always give it your all. That is the key to success.”

“I've always had to train harder than others to get the oxygen to my muscles because of my lung capacity. I have to push myself past the point of being comfortable.”

“When you win the Olympics, you hope that the medal that you get, that weight makes it feel like you really earned something.”
