If the Russians masterminded fraud for 40 years at the highest state level in sports, operating behind the scenes to corrupt sports, what else are they capable of?
I was just trying to be immersed in my technique and I was actually immersed in it. That is the difference between really performing well and not performing well at the highest level.
To play at the highest level requires tremendous effort, concentration and above all, never giving up.

One thing I'm proud to do like a girl is represent my country in the Olympics and at the highest level, at the highest platform that I can.
