soccer sports kids
I tried all kinds of sports when I was a kid, like soccer and tennis and golf, and, in fact, started skating to be able to play hockey.
hockey simple games
I know that, in hockey, the object of the game is simple in that you have to get the puck into the net. With figure skating, it's not as simple, and there is a ton of work that goes into it.

If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.
games needs video
I do love video games. But after a while, you feel like you really need to get up and do something.

I love figure skating and what I am able to express creatively. I want to leave a legacy in the sport.

Experience is a funny thing. You dont always have it when you need it.
desire care wells
I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other peoples desire for me to do well.
amateur athletes burden cost pay quite share skating sports themselves trying
In skating or any amateur sport, as athletes we share something in common: the cost of training is quite a burden on our parents or on the athletes themselves trying to find a way to pay for their costs.

I'm extremely well recognized in Korea just because of what I do on the ice, and there is a lack of that in Canada because hockey is our sport and it will be for eternity.

When I was born, my parents were huge into skiing. I grew up on Mont Blanc, skiing on that hill. I was really a ski baby. Loved it; I still love it.

I'm very proud I'm Chinese and represent the Chinese community.
active games good playing quite sports video
There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.
