A lot of funny things happened. Like I`d be walking through an airport and I`d see someone with the issue of Playboy in their hands, and they`d see me, and their eyes would go right to my chest. Straight down - zap. - on her Playboy appearance in 1998 as ...

Without strength and courage it`s really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you`re alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself.

When you`re expected to win and you have the press saying that you are going to win the Olympic gold medal, and you`re the only sure thing in the Olympics, it can undermine your confidence.

When I was in fourth grade, my family, we used to always go to the roller skating rink. There was this cute boy there that I liked. It kind of influenced me to keep going.
Allison Baver
When I was going to Penn State, I was so new to ice skating that I only skated once a week, and that was in Harrisburg, three hours away. It wasn`t my No. 1 focus.

What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating.

We have girls on our team who want to skate in [Saturday`s] 5,000 meters. As of now, I do not. I don`t feel well and my skating is not well. I will give up my spot to one of our younger skaters.

They would often put hockey gear on me and have me play goalie for their street hockey games. It didn`t bother me a bit! I actually loved it!
Nancy Kerrigan
There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.

The Dutch fans are awesome. It`s really exciting whenever we race in front of a big crowd of them. They cheer for everybody. That`s really special.
Cindy Klassen
The aging of the U.S. population is a theme that we believe strongly in and the health care sector is really right in the bulls eye of this particular theme.

That`s what makes the Ryder Cup in golf so much better than the Masters or the U.S. Open. To be a part of something that is not about personal achievement, but about representing everyone and sharing it with the whole country, it`s wonderful.

That was when my coach taught me that I should not wear medals around, they were awards not jewelry. So you`ll never see me with my medals on!
Nancy Kerrigan
Sometimes it was difficult to make friends and be social in school because I was always practicing while other kids were getting together and doing things. But it just made me closer to my family, and I realized that they would always be there no matter w...

So as an amateur Olympic competitor I loved criticism, because it made me better. But now as a professional I don`t really know how to channel it or where to take it, so I don`t take it quite as well.

She is going to be great. We have a program that includes the best from all over the world. Our coach is Chinese. We have Koreans, Canadians, the whole thing here. She began in a totally different philosophy.
