I started skating when I was six years old.
From Nancy Kerrigan
I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.
I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson.
I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!
I won my first medal when I was nine years old. It was at the Boston Open.
I worked also, doing things such as our paper route and, later on, waitressing.
It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.
It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
It was never about winning medals or being famous.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.
