“To be an Olympic champion is something that is earned, not given.”

“It's a little bit of a letdown when you see the same people day in and day out.”

“The pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.”

“Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.”

“I wouldn't say I'm a glamour girl. I'm a tough-looking girl.”

“If I can inspire one person to go for their dream, then I've done my job.”

“My focus was always on the process. The results were just a byproduct.”

“It's not that I've 'arrived' and I'm bigger than life. It's just that I'm trying to be.”

“You have to be willing to fail to be able to succeed.”

“I never looked at the names on the board. I just skated my own race.”
