I Get To See The Different Sides

People Are Really Sick Of Seeing The Winner Not Win And What The Public Thinks Should Happen.

People Would Ask Me Why I Was Doing What I Was Doing - But I Always Told Them That I Just Loved To Skate. There Was No Other Explanation.

I Think It's A Lot Harder For The Pros To Have A Long Career In Ice Dance And In Pairs. It Seems The Singles Have A Little Bit Of A Longer Career.

But After A Few Minutes Of Convincing Myself That I Really Wanted To Go - Telling Myself That I Love Skating And That My Coach Is There Waiting For Me - I Would Get Up And Go. And My Mother Would Always Get Up And Eat Breakfast With Me!

But It Seems That The Judging Maybe They Shouldn't At Least See The Practices All Week Long. That Can Taint The Way They Go Into The Judging And The Outlook Of What's Going To Happen, Instead Of Just Watching Those Four Minutes And Judging On Those Minutes Alone.
