I asked skaters, 'Why does the costume always have all this stuff? They said, 'Because it makes it look like we're skating faster. My comment was, 'Why don't you just skate faster? Is it really about an optical illusion? Or is it really about ability? |
They think they're in their own little insulated world. The minute it starts to affect the results, it will change. ... But, as I always have said, the ugliest costume in the world can end up at the top of the podium, and the prettiest costume can go home last. |
You need to wear the costume, the costume shouldn't wear you. |
