hard-work perfect style
Broadcasting is definitely in my cards for the future, and I'm determined to work hard at it - to perfect it and create my style and niche.
thinking goal focus
I think so many times we focus so much on just the end result when when we finally reach that point we realize that was never the true goal. That was never really what it was all about.
dad order sky
My dad always used to tell me that sometimes you have to have a massive storm in order to clear the sky.
yellow clothes gold
I love to shop. Clothes, electronics, and I love jewelry, especially yellow gold.
workout years guy
One things guys have to remember is consistency... You can't make up for three years of eating poorly in just one workout.
definitely
I think I'm better all around as a skater. Physically, I think I'm definitely stronger. I'm lighter, I'm leaner, I know a lot more about my body.
line
I thought I got (Li) at the line anyway.
asian best bothered built certain directed energy grew growing korean later negative pedestal people realized resulting stand using
I was really bothered by it. I grew up around many Asian cultures, Korean one of them. A lot of my best friends were Korean growing up. I just didn't understand. Later on I realized that was built up by certain people and that was directed at me, negative energy from other things, not even resulting around the sport, but around politics, using me to stand on the pedestal as the anti-American sentiment.
almost banquet definitely felt running
I felt horrible. I didn't even make it to the banquet after. I almost always go to the banquet. It was definitely running me down.

To finish the Olympics like this with these four guys, there is nothing like it.

I wouldn't say that I always wear this particular shirt, but I do ALWAYS bring it with me to trips and competitions.

We both thought this is where my hunger came from, living in the training center, living the simple life. For me to be my best, I didn't want to change anything before 2006.
came funding performing regardless since
U.S. Speedskating has been riddled with problems since when I started my career, and we were always able to look past that. When it came down to performing on the ice, regardless of funding issues, we were always able to make it happen. And that's what it's all about.
bad changed impossible life seemingly zero
As seemingly impossible as it may seem of having zero regrets, when I look at my life now and all the mistakes I've made, all the bad decisions I've made, all the things I could have done differently or done more in, I don't think I would have changed anything.
