It's really an honor and a privilege to be here tonight with all of you experiencing this. And I wouldn't love my journey as an athlete as much as I do if it wasn't for my incredible team. They're really what keep my grounded, keep me mentally and physically stable. So truly they're all one of ones, specifically Philip, Massimo, Brandon, Caroline, Carrie, Yuki, Gabriela, and Gretchen. There's so much willpower and dedication put into the past two years that I've been back in my sport. Not just for me, but from my entire team who work tirelessly to make sure, again, I'm mentally and physically steady and strong. I may be in an individual sport where it's just me out on the ice, but, you know what they say, there's no "i" in team. So I really couldn't have done it without them, so thank you all.
