These big jumps take a big toll on the body, especially a young body. So, it's kind of risk or reward, I guess.

Being able to land all the quads, especially doing them all in one program, is mentally huge.

Half of learning a new element is just getting over the fear of doing it. Once you mentally prepare yourself enough to do the jump, that is really half the battle.

I began skating when I was 3. It was during 2002, the year the Olympics were held in Salt Lake City.

Largely, I began skating because I wanted stuff to do outside of school. My mom decided to put me into figure skating.
