If she's healthy and able to compete, she's definitely one of the strongest to compete for the United States at the Olympics.
great
I didn't think I was going to get any medals, and so it was great to get silver.
assume coach gets great responsibility skater works
When a skater gets older, they become more mature, and they can assume more responsibility for their skating, ... That's how I've evolved. I know what works and what doesn't, and Mr. Nicks is a great coach for me.

The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best.

I love cashmere. For casual, I like Juicy Couture. I love the beading in Badgley Mischka. I like Dolce & Gabbana. There's such a lot to choose from.

My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence.
designed fabrics picked red since skated time
I've designed since I was 12. The first was when I skated to Carmen, in red and gold and black. I wanted so many frills at that time. It had a lot going on for a little person like me. And I picked out fabrics that didn't stretch. Very uncomfortable.
love people
People should have their rights to be who they want to be and love who they want to love.

Fashion always was a huge interest of mine. I love beautiful clothes. I appreciate fine beading and lovely fabrics.

For whatever reason, the pro world has kind of died out, and the skaters are staying in, staying competitive, putting in the effort, the training to stay at the top of their game. It's difficult.
boosts energy feed higher love people performance skate venue
For me, when I get to the venue and have the people and the audience, my performance boosts up. I skate at a much higher level. I'm one of those people that feel like I can feed off the energy and be better. I love to perform.
came game input mature maturity older plan responsibility skater slow telling
When I came back to Mr. Nicks, he said a skater who is older and more mature should have more input and responsibility for her skating. I feel I set my game plan and goals. He is always the one who is telling me to slow down a little bit.
definitely mean national win
When I do win a national title, it would definitely mean a lot more if (Kwan) is there.
bad few great lose role skaters
When I was 13, 14 and 15, she was a role model. She was one of the few skaters that didn't lose her temper, that would have a bad day and have a great attitude.
