Ryan Shimabukuro Quotations

I can actually remember my first steps on the ice. I came this way. I had my rental skates on.

Chris has nothing to prove. She's done everything in this sport. If these Olympics don't work out for her, she has nothing to apologize for. She's given back to the sport so much.
