There was a stadium a hundred metres from home and my parents took me there. It turned out that there was nothing there apart from skates, so I started skating. There were moments when I wanted to give up and do another sport as there were no conditions - just a rink and that's it. I tried to do cycling, ice hockey but each time I came back to speed skating.
