Family is always the most important part.
Finally, in the last two or three years, I feel very comfortable to skate by myself and I know what I can do and what I cannot.
I knew there were a lot of friends out there, and I wanted to be with them.
I like to cook good meals, especially when I have a lot of time.
I love that I have a job that I love.
I'm almost a full-time mom.
It was a great experience for me. It was a different side of Olympics than I've ever seen. I watched every competition.
The life is a wonderful thing. You have to appreciate it NOW... because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow.
The skating community was very supportive, and they knew the story, and they knew me and Sergei, so it was nice.
To come back on the ice was hard, and at the same time it was kind of a healing process.
Won two Olympics gold medals in pair's figure skating (1988 & 1994) with her husband/partner, Sergei Grinkov .
