I stand where the first judge is sitting. I am very close to the ice so I have a different view than the hosts in the booth. I can offer something different because I can get a sense of the speed. I can even smell the fear they have. I like that position.

Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.
