When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.

I didn't get into skating to be famous.

I would recommend anybody who gets a chance to see short track skating, make it a point to go out there when Apolo is skating because you won't see anybody better.

One thing is having skated five of the best races I've probably could have skated. It was nice to peak at the right time and to do it in an important time in somebody's career.

Heck, gold medals, what can you do with them?

It's not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.
