ATTITUDE
She has worked on remaining relaxed ahead of competitions after finding the qualification process for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games extremely stressful. "I used to shake so much on the start line that the starter would smirk at me because he knew what I was going through. The nerves could get quite overwhelming so I realised it was time to remember why I started skating in the first place." (dailymail.co.uk, 10 Mar 2015)
