All that skate LA Q+A

Do you have any rituals before you perform?

Michelle Kwan – “I had a few rituals when I was competing. There was a time when I laced up my left skate before my right. I also remember there was a period when I didn't polish my skates despite the dirtiness because I thought it was lucky.”

Yuna Kim - “I usually make the cross sign right before my performance.”

Johnny Weir - “I get ready in a very quiet space, make myself beautiful and get in the zone.”

Tessa Virtue - “I always put my left skate on before my right. I walk the same route to dressing room every time I enter a rink. I put the necklace I usually wear (which was my Grandmother's gold chain) in my right running shoe after tying my skates.”

Tanith Belbin - “I have little superstitious habits, like putting my left skate on first and lining my guards up perfectly before placing them in my coach's hands. The most important thing I always do before taking the ice at competitions though is holding onto Ben's hand for at least 5 minutes before the warm-up. This way we can sense how nervous the other is and what we need to do to help them through.”

Scott Moir - “Not really. The only thing I do is to buy new socks before every competition.”

Ashley Wagner - “I usually listen to really upbeat songs, and I always put my right skate on before my left.”

Stéphane Lambiel – “I like singing before I skate. That’s good for my breathing.”

What’s your favorite thing about performing?

Michelle Kwan – “My favorite thing about performing is connecting with the music, ice and audience.”

Yuna Kim - “I like to tell the audience a story.”

Johnny Weir - “I love when the crowd erupts with appreciation. Entertaining my fans is the most important thing about performing in shows.”

Tessa Virtue - “It always makes me happy to see smiling faces in the stands as we skate - Scott and I love to entertain!”

Tanith Belbin - “I love connecting with the audience and, when it's a great performance, having some impact on them emotionally. My favorite part of ice dancing is the story-telling aspect so in show programs especially, we always try to make a program with clear storyline.”

Scott Moir - “My favorite thing about performing is performing that perfect program you have practiced. There is no better feeling.”

Ashley Wagner - “I love being able to perform in front of a crowd because I feel like this is my way of expressing myself. I can relate to the audience and entertain them with my performance. It makes me happy that I can make others happy through my skating.”

Stéphane Lambiel – “To share my passion with the audience.”

What is the coolest thing you’ve received from a fan?

Michelle Kwan – “I am a huge stuffed animal lover, so I would have to say that every stuffed animal that has been tossed on the ice has been my favorite.”

Yuna Kim - “Messages from fans, collections of fan art, donation by fans for my birthday present.”

Johnny Weir - “Love and support.”

Tessa Virtue - “A beautiful scrapbook filled with skating photos, poems, drawings and even CDs with possible skating music on them! It was so generous, extremely thoughtful and obviously very time-consuming. Also, I love receiving fuzzy, comfy socks from Japan and Korea!”

Tanith Belbin - “One fan from Korea made me an incredible statue for my birthday this year. It's a perfect replica of myself and Ben in a lift from our Free Dance at the Olympics and every single detail, from the rhinestones on my dress to the Olympic logo on the ice, is absolutely perfect.”

Scott Moir - “Dior tie.”

Ashley Wagner - “I received a Mikimoto pearl necklace that was really pretty.”

Yuna Kim - “LA!!!!!!!!!!”

Johnny Weir - “New York City.”

Tessa Virtue - “Los Angeles, of course!”

Tanith Belbin - “Los Angeles had the absolute best audience at the World Championships in 2009. We felt their support the entire week of the competition and their encouragement lifted us to a whole new level of performance.”

Scott Moir - I haven’t skated in America very often, but we have some great fans in Canton, Michigan.”

Ashley Wagner - “LA!”

Stéphane Lambiel – “Los Angeles.”
