"I don't have any concrete plans yet. If your objectives are too clear (and set in stone), it feels like you have set limitations on yourself and I don't like this. Right now, I want to let my instincts guide me in how I skate. Because it's the off-season, I can practice different things. I can enjoy skating to the fullest, reflect on myself and expand my repertoire."

"Male skaters don't peak a quickly as the ladies. Skaters in their teens are landing different types of quad jumps and the media tends to focus on this and their youth. However, it should be noted that it is possible to be a top skater twell in your lates 20s. It is a sport where making new challenges is fun. That's why I'd like to say that you haven't seen anything yet. The (technical level) will keep on becoming higher. Much higher. My primary objective now is to be heakthy at the Pyeongchang Olympics, so that I am able to execute 120% of what I can do."
