It came so soon and so fast. It's just overwhelming. Every time I think about it, I just can't believe it.
It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.
I want children, but at the moment the liberty I have now finally, has a far too high value.
I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.
Professional sports, in of itself, is a fantasy, for the majority of the population.

People think, sports delivers a message. It's not just about winning and losing, although that's important. It's about other things, too. It demonstrates how it can say certain things about your culture and your society.
When I looked into the story of Soviet hockey and its players, I realized that it has nothing to do with hockey. It was a larger story using hockey as a window into the story of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, the Russian people, with friendships and betrayals, paranoia and oppression, and the meaning of sports to people and nations around the world, and how sports was used as a political tool.
I was totally into football, totally into mainstream sports my whole life...The media has tried to categorize me, call me a hippie, call me alternative. I work hard. My social life and beliefs don't get in the way of my training.

Surrender. That's an interesting term. We tend to see all forms of surrender as negative--war, sports, highway on-ramps. You'd never hear us describing a relationship as a type of surrender.
