My Mantra Has Always Been To Have

I Think So Many Times We Focus So Much On Just The End Result When When We Finally Reach That Point We Realize That Was Never The True Goal. That Was Never Really What It Was All About.

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.

Did You Do Every Single Thing You Could Today, To Be Your Best?

Every Olympic Athlete Prepares Differently. For Me, I Am 100 Percent Into The Sport. And If I Decide To Really Make A Crucial Career Decision To Say, 'this Is Something I Want To Do,' I Want To Leave No Stone Unturned In My Preparation.

On The Ice, If I Slow Down, I Can Coast Behind Somebody For A Couple Of Laps. If I Slow Down On The Run, It'll Turn Into A Walk.
