asian best bothered built certain directed energy grew growing korean later negative pedestal people realized resulting stand using
I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.

One guy wins and one guy loses, but it's not entirely up to him. Our sport is so crazy that on any given Sunday, anybody can win. You can run the same race over and over five times, and you'll probably get five different winners. It's wild.

I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.

The woman I'm attracted to won't be based on what I write down on paper. It's going to be what I feel.

We actually have a small family. It's just my father and I and my grandmother, who lives in Tokyo. I cherish my friendships.
