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.

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.

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything. And that’s what this Olympic medal represents.

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’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 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.

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.
