A dream can be what wakes you up in the morning and keeps you going every day, whether things are going great or not. You have that dream; you have that passion inside you that you keep pushing forward.

I love the classic side of skating, making it look like a full program and not just technical based.

I'm more thoughtful and aware of how my body feels. I've learned the difference of what is just sore from a hard workout or what's sore from a possible injury.

To be able to stand on the podium and see one Canadian flag raised is one thing, but to see two, it feels like you're not alone.

Skating is really hard, especially women's skating where we're judged in little tiny dresses.

I know sometimes in the off-season I have to motivate myself to get on the ice because I know there's so long until the competitions begin again.
