 I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment. |
| I am kind of like a diesel. It is the cyclist in me. |
| If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything. And that's what this Olympic medal represents. |
| I'll skate on concrete if I have to. I'm not worried about how fast the ice is. I'm worried about how fast I can go on the ice. |
| I love skating so much and I feel like every time I step out onto the ice, that's what I'm meant to do. |
| I've had so many experiences in cycling, but in some ways I have nothing left to prove. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of, I've raced a lot longer than I thought I would. I know I can still be better, but I just don't know if I love it enough any more. |
| What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while. |
| I'm trying to let winning the world championships settle in right now before I begin training again shortly. During the skating season, we skate on average 20 kilometres a day. On top of that, we're riding a lot and lifting a lot of weights. |
