I just did my best, and I shined like a star.
I always believed that I could be number one in the world. Being number one right now, I've got a bull's eye on my back.
No words, no words, an unbelievable feeling.
My journey was not to win four golds. It was coming to the Olympics, experiencing it, and perfecting myself regardless of medal outcome.
Speed skating is like floating on the ice. It's a beautiful feeling. It's gliding.
I just feel so good. I come here, perform my best, and get a gold medal- there's nothing better than that.
It just came to me. This is something I was meant to do.
I have great turning ability. My corners are pretty strong. I'm very explosive, and I'm down in position. I have good passing ability.
I'm not worried.
It's something I've come to expect. People are going to ask me questions no matter what the outcome.
I think it's only the beginning. This is Chapter one.
I don't want to be the fattest. I don't want to be the slowest. I want to be the best.
