It's miraculous. I feel blessed. I'm still kind of shocked. I still can't believe I skated that fast. Those are the two best races I've ever skated. I really wasn't trying to put any pressure on myself. I was trying to be relaxed and enjoy the process, enjoy the event and I skated fantastic races, so I'm thrilled.

anybody ask athletics best careers hand imperative morning people pinnacle reaches ready selfish somebody wake
Athletics is a very selfish pursuit. I wake up every morning and as I get ready for the day, I ask myself, how can I be the best in the world. So after years of this, and people sacrificing so I can be the best in the world, I think it's imperative for me or anybody else who reaches a pinnacle in their careers to reach out a hand for somebody else.

You really have to try and make the decision that you think is best for you.

Competing for 16 years has been the main focus of my life. Basically, it's a selfish pursuit. I've focused all my energy on how to be the best in the world, and there's been many others who have sacrificed for me to make that happen. I figured it was time for me to reach out and help someone else.
