I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.

Heck, gold medals, what can you do with them?

One thing is having skated five of the best races I've probably could have skated. It was nice to peak at the right time and to do it in an important time in somebody's career.

I didn't get into skating to be famous.

We never did a lot of weights, but a lot of repetitions. The most I would use doing squats was 300 pounds.

The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle
