stones singers rolling
I like to listen to different kinds of music - it just depends on my mood. I love Madonna, Russian singers... I like the Rolling Stones a lot!
skating figures enjoy
I took some time off to enjoy my life, but figure skating is something I love and something I will continue doing for the rest of my life.
beach vacation water
One of my favorite vacation places is Miami, because of the people, the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.
dog trying littles
I will try to make a doll of Oksana with a little dog.
feelings competition wish
I wish I could compete again, but my good feeling is, these competitions are better as exhibitions.
letting-go ice land
My weaknesses are my jumps. The reason is that although I land them in practice, when I actually compete or perform, I should let my body go and stabilize my mind better. Also, I need to work on not letting negative thoughts and emotions get to me on the ice.
people pet sometimes
People really do spend a lot of money on their pets - sometimes more then themselves.
drinking night alcohol
Also, I gained lots of weight between ages 18-20 because I was drinking alcohol at night. Alcohol has lots of calories and that does not help.
use boots edmonton
I use Graf Edmonton for boots and John Wilson blades.
long training different
I have a lot of different stages in my life when training has been easy or hard. Now, it seems that I have been training for so long that it has become almost second nature to me.

I want kids to enjoy skating and I think it's a great workout.
fun shapes skates
I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.

First, I have to thank God for giving me the gift that he did as well as a second chance for a better life.
