strong bad-ass winning
I can skate beautifully. While performing on ice I always try to please the audience and to win as well. Being artistic is very important to get the audience on your side. As for a competition, you can't win without strong technical content.
winning bad-ass matter
It doesn't matter what kind of result will be in the end. I already win for myself.
pain heart winning
What worries me though, is that after all those victories people don't see me as a human being anymore. I am not a machine, I have a heart beating in my chest -not an engine, there's blood in my veins- not oil. I know pain and fatigue. I can lose but I will strive to win everything.
came dream hard operation worked
I worked a lot. It was really very hard because of my operation and my dream came true.
I tell you the truth. This is my dream. Yeah. And I'm so happy.

I tell you the truth, this is my dream. That (2002) was not my Olympic Games. This Olympic Games is mine, that's for sure.

I tell the truth. This is my dream, yeah? And I am happy, believe me I am so happy.

I'm so happy with my numbers, I did my job, it's not the best what I did today. But it's quite enough.
bit coughing doctor doubt hard thanks three whether
I was on intravenous fluids for three days, and thanks to the doctor who got me back on my feet. There was a doubt whether I could come. It was a bit hard to skate, to breathe. I'm still coughing badly.
inside work
I have something inside me. I like to work and I also like to compete.
best dream emotional fans happy quite
It was my dream when I was (four-years-old). I'm so happy with my scores. I did my job. It's not the best what I did today, but it was quite enough. I didn't have a lot of emotion. My fans know how emotional I can be.
competition olympic saw
It was my dream. When I was 4, I saw the competition and said to my mom, 'I have to be there.' I said that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
perfect pressure skated today
It's a lot of pressure right now, guys, come on. Nothing happened. I just skated today perfect and did my job.
hard people pictures street walk wanting
Sometimes it is so hard to walk on the street that I would like more to be in my car. It is unbelievable - crazy, crazy, crazy. People screaming, wanting autographs, wanting to take pictures with me. I like it, but sometimes it is too much.
