A big thank you to @GoneWithTheWind for adding links to her Media profile!
Mom, over 15 years ago, I asked you and Dad to buy me skates. And soon we went skating together for the first time. Then you brought a plump, cheerful, goofy, but smart and talented baby doll to the rink. And today, thanks to you and Dad, I competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing
For me, the Olympic Games have never been a dream. Not as an athlete, not as a person. However, the last month, seeing the reaction of my family, my relatives, friends, my inner circle, fans and other people, I realized that the Olympic Games are my dream! It is a dream of a child to thank his parents for their work, faith, love, invested in me and spent on me strength, time, finances, opportunities, health - everything! This is an opportunity to literally show them that, look, it's ALL YOURS. Thank you for being here right now.
…And today this grown up (greatly grown up ) child is very grateful.
Thanks Parents!
