There are not many things I find more disgusting than recycled airplane air.

I guess I could take things from every place that I've been and find something familiar and wonderful about it that makes me feel like I'm at home.

You have to be a student of the game to be successful, and it's promising when you can say that, with a world-record performance, I still have things to improve on!

I remember that the first country I visited was Canada, and then France. After that, I knew that I loved traveling and seeing the world. I feel that I'm so blessed and fortunate to get to visit so many places and see the world.

For me, I always think about keeping my upper body relaxed, my hips level, and my right side down on the turn. If I work on nailing those three things at every practice, I hope that by the time I get into a race situation I can stay completely focused on the task at hand, and the rest will happen naturally.

I don't even know if you can blink in a hundredth of a second, and that's what it comes down to in speed skating.
