Sports and politics don't mix.
We had a party with the rest of the skaters in our trailer and then the next day we were off to see Jimmy Carter. And then we had the World Championships the next weekend, so not a lot of chance to catch up.
One thing is having skated five of the best races I've probably could have skated. It was nice to peak at the right time and to do it in an important time in somebody's career.
In general, I enjoy athletes who have a strong character who let their abilities speak for themselves.
Then going out on the ice usually about 15 minutes before and certain things I would do for the different races, aspects that you run through your mind.
I'm not a big fan of those who are egotistical and so outspoken.
Immediately after the Olympics, I was pretty fatigued.
