It's Different Today Than It Was Then.

It's Different Today Than It Was Then. In Those Days We Were Strictly Amateurs. If I Had Wanted To Stay In For The '80 Olympics, My Parents Couldn't Have Afforded It.

My Mother Stopped Working When She Had My Brother. She Was A Full Time Mom Until I Started Getting Heavily Into Ice Skating Lessons, And It Got To The Point Where They Really Needed My Mom To Earn An Income.

My Coach Was A Great Politician, So He Did Most Of The Work. He Was Good.

There Were No Competitions On Television. The First Skating Competition I Ever Remember Seeing On Television Was The 1968 Olympics When Peggy Fleming Won.

I Wanted To Learn How To Skate Backwards And They Wouldn't Help Me And They Went Off And Left Me On My Own.
