lifelong mine olympic
It was a dream of mine to be an Olympic champion but not a lifelong goal.
sacrifice would-be three
I started skating because I loved it. I started when I was three and I didn't know all the sacrifices and all the hardships and how difficult day-in and day-out it would be.
good-luck sleep past
I wear my Peggy Fleming T-shirt when I go to sleep every night before I compete, and for the past four years, it's brought me incredible good luck.
dream thinking crowds
I think what every skater dreams of is not only skating the best program they can possibly skate, but, y'know, having the crowd roar at the end, and it was just so loud I couldn't even hear my music.
ice people competition
Katarina Witt. She was the ultimate competitor. She would just stare down people before competition. She was relentless on the ice.
