"I don't remember the first time I skated on ice, I was too young. I do remember falling in love with that wind-in-my-face feeling while speed skating."

"My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it."

"No matter what the competition is, I try to find a goal that day and better that goal."

The sport I love has taken me around the world and shown me many things.

I'm definitely going to miss hearing the sound of that gun.
