In ice dancing, you cannot decide your result. You just have to do your best, and you can't decide if you win or not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Who cares if somebody dances better? Doing my very best is rewarding internally.
Whenever I put myself out there on the line, skating against other people, I simply want to win.
It's really ironic that I won, because that's not the goal that I had in mind when I went out to skate.
When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
Skating isn't about the medals or the results. I love what I do. It's much more fun to win, but you cannot every time.
If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.
Regardless of the obstacles or hurdles that are ahead of you, regardless of the opponent, regardless of the odds, your goal and objective always is to win. I think that's part of sports.
I'm not out there just to be dancing around. I expect to win every time I tee up.
I'm very much in denial that I can't dance. I really go for it, which is almost more embarrassing.
I can't dance on ice, because I'm like Bambi on ice.
