“You can't go to college and develop into an Olympics champion. It takes too much time, too much training.”

“I was born in a blizzard, a special out-of-season blizzard, the worst blizzard Oslo ever suffered. Family, home, circumstances, the country I lived in and the weather I was born in all conspired to make a skater of me.”
