When you reach a certain level, you live in a bubble when all you think, dream and breathe is becoming the best athlete in the world.
I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.
Too many times women try to be competitive with each other. We should help support each other, rather than try to be better than each other.
As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember.
I was an athlete. And I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty. I was good, too.
When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
