“My theme in this year’s Grand Prix series is love. I’ve been helped by many people in my competitive skating career thus far, but I’ve never thought about love until now. Though I was blessed with support, I couldn’t take full advantage of it. I always felt like I was fighting alone. But since Viktor showed up to be my coach, I’ve seen something totally different. My love is not something clear-cut like romantic love, but the more abstract feeling of my relationships with Viktor, family, and hometown.. I was able to realise something like love exists all around me. Viktor is the first person I’ve ever wanted to hold on to. I don’t have a name for that emotion, but I have decided to call it love. Now that I know what love is and am stronger for it, I’ll prove it to myself with a Grand Prix Final gold medal!”
