We wanted to be achievers, but being an achiever didn't mean that you stopped being a woman.

The world went by, and we didn't get caught up in all the other things, because we didn't have time. We had no spare time. It was always thinking about training and focusing on what we wanted, our goals.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

My sport taught me what I could do with my talents, whether in the rink or in the rest of my life.

I really loved what the guys were doing more than anything, how high they jumped, how effortless it was.

The first thing is to love your sport. Never do it to please someone else. It has to be yours.
