“It was a gift from God that I had the opportunity to skate with him. And it's a gift from God that I can still skate.”

“The ice was our home.”

“It's hard to explain, but when you're on the ice, you forget about everything.”

“My life is so different since he's been gone. It's empty.”

“Every time I step on the ice, he's with me.”

“You have to enjoy every moment, because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.”

“We're not partners... We are one.”

“He's in my heart and in my mind. He's my angel.”

“Even before we'd start skating, we'd find a quiet corner and just look at each other. It was a way of connecting.”

“I didn't want to skate alone. I hated it.”

“I always try to think about what he would say. 'Go, Katia, go!'”
