I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say.
I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.
Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.
Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to do with anybody else.
My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.
I love short track. I competed in short track, I was a world champion in 1986 but at that point in time it wasn't in the Olympic Games so I moved into long track. Short track is a blast to skate and it's a blast to watch.
