It's really ironic that I won, because that's not the goal that I had in mind when I went out to skate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I never really thought that I would be extraordinarily successful at skating, it's just something that happened, you know.
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.
When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.
My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.
My goals were last year to win the world champs and this year to win the Olympic Games and I've done that and I couldn't be happier.
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.
My dream was always to win in the Olympic Games, but I never set that next goal, and I have realised now I need to set another goal.
Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.
Whenever I put myself out there on the line, skating against other people, I simply want to win.
