I Know Exactly What I'm Doing On

I've Been An Athlete Most Of My Life And On A Disciplined Schedule. Working Out For Me Is Just Part Of My Every Day.

I Know Exactly What I'm Doing On The Ice, And I'm In My Element.

I Rolled The Second Car That I Ever Owned, A Toyota 4 Runner. This Was Winter In Colorado, Two Weeks Before The 2002 Olympic Trials. I Was Driving In The Outside Lane, And My Rear Tire Caught Some Black Ice, And We Totally Turned Sideways To The Point Where We Were Heading Right Toward The Median.

I Wanted To Play Football Or Be A Boxer, But My Dad Didn't Want That Because Of All The Impact. But In 1992 I Was Watching Short Track, And It Was Obscure, But They Looked Like Superheroes In Their Tight Outfits, And I Thought It Was Amazing. I Wanted To Do That. I Made The National Team At 14.
