I couldn't believe just how emotional I was about the London Olympics.

I have a muscular build and I've learned to embrace that because it's makes me strong, giving me speed and power on the ice. It's a different kind of femininity - one that doesn't fit the norm.

We've had the good fortune of performing to live music a few times in our career and it always creates a different dynamic.

Ultimately, and I can appreciate this as I get older, those quirks and those differences are what I find so attractive about other people, that's what I think being beautiful is.

The more people feel comfortable to showcase that and the more we highlight that as a visibility for young girls to see and look up to - I think that's better.
