IN OUR WORDS
If I wasn't a skater ... (Kriengkrairut) I would want to be a dancer or golfer.
... (Giulietti-Schmitt) I wouldn't be broke.
I look up to ... (Kriengkrairut) Yulia Zagoruychenko and Atul Gawande.
... (Giulietti-Schmitt) anyone who is devoted, hardworking and loyal. .
I started skating because ... (Kriengkrairut) I was involved in many activities when I was little including gymnastics, tennis, piano, violin, golf, ballet and tap dance, and skating was just another afterschool activity to keep me busy.
My figure skating heroes are ... (Giulietti-Schmitt) Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Peter Tchernyshev and Naomi Lang.
I manage my pre-skate jitters by ... (Kriengkrairut) imagining everyone in their underwear. Actually, no, that doesn't work. I don't know who decided that was a good technique. I listen to music, chew some Stride gum and breathe.
Something most people don't know about me is ... (Giulietti-Schmitt) I have a stamp, coin and baseball card collection.
