“If you are on the inside of skating, you sort of understand it. But not quite.”
Brian Boitano
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Robert McCloskey
“I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.”
Tony Hawk
“I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”
Wayne Gretzky
“We're skating six or seven forwards and when they're not scoring they're back-checking their hearts out and helping the team out. We're getting a lot of scoring from a lot of different players. When a guy is scoring, he's scoring in bunches. But, they're not individual goals, they're a team effort.”
Chris O'Brien
“Ice dance should not be seen as a rigid conformist form of figure skating. There is a great deal of freedom and originality to be had.”
Robin Cousins
“To me, this is bigger than the Olympics. This medal is prestigious. Not only do you have to skate 500 meters, but you have to skate 10,000, you have to skate a 1,500 and a 5,000 and you only have two days to do it.”
