My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

Right now I am doing my residency in orthopedic research.

I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
