U.s. Speedskating Has Been Riddled With Problems Since When I Started My Career, And We Were Always Able To Look Past That. When It Came Down To Performing On The Ice, Regardless Of Funding Issues, We Were Always Able To Make It Happen. And That's What It's All About.

Generally, Speed Skaters Don't Run That Much. I'm A Little Bit Of An Exception In That I Run A Lot.

Every Olympic Athlete Prepares Differently. For Me, I Am 100 Percent Into The Sport. And If I Decide To Really Make A Crucial Career Decision To Say, 'this Is Something I Want To Do,' I Want To Leave No Stone Unturned In My Preparation.

I Wanted To Play Football Or Be A Boxer, But My Dad Didn't Want That Because Of All The Impact. But In 1992 I Was Watching Short Track, And It Was Obscure, But They Looked Like Superheroes In Their Tight Outfits, And I Thought It Was Amazing. I Wanted To Do That. I Made The National Team At 14.

It's An Individual Sport, But Collectively Everybody Shares The Same Motto That Ironman Stands For: Anything Is Possible.
