I grew up figure skating, and in figure skating there is only a handful of black people at the time figure skating with me.

Brandi Rhodes

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

Katarina Witt

Male figure skating is different than female figure skating; we're not America's sweetheart.

Scott Hamilton

I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I've done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve.

Johnny Weir

I am proud to be a first-generation Chinese-American in the sport of figure skating.

Nathan Chen

I love figure skating and what I am able to express creatively. I want to leave a legacy in the sport.

Patrick Chan

To me, figure skating is a diving sport. It's a sport made by the gods. It inspires people to cry, it inspires people to cheer, it pulls the emotions out of people.

Frank Carroll

I'm excited to watch slope style and halfpipe. And then, of course, when my events are done, I get to go to hockey, which is always entertaining. I also like figure skating. I think every girl grew up watching figure skating.

Julia Mancuso

Figure skating was a pretty individual sport. I've grown up a lot since those days and enjoy being part of a team now. Being a doctor is about working with nurses, therapists, anesthesiologists, and I've learned more about team play being a doctor than when I was in sports.

Debi Thomas

At school I fought sometimes. Kids were saying that figure skating is sport for the girls. Then I had to prove them wrong.

Evgeni Plushenko

Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged.

Chris Jericho

Skating is much more of an individual sport, and then there is a team event once the team is picked.

Eddy Alvarez

The bus ride to the arena... I slipped on my Discman and listened to some of my favourite music, all the while imagining myself on the ice. Visualization and imagery are very important in figure skating, or any sport for that matter. This is where you see yourself in your mind performing in front of an audience and judges. I also imagine how I am going to feel during the performance. During the bus ride, I pictured myself skating a perfect program.

Josee Chouinard

I got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.

Johnny Weir

I've been an athlete all my life. I was a competitive figure skater, and then when I realized skating was not an adult sport I took up tennis and played that quite seriously from the time I was about 18.
