I used to skate a lot.With every Olympic song，I found an excitement growing inside me when I was first to skate at the age of five.But，unluckily，I was badly hurt in a match.I quickly stopped my skating.Smiling，my husband just said，“Skating is your passion (酷愛)，but of course we can stay at home.”

It was crazy，I know，that a thirty?seven?year?old mother of two children wanted to skate under disco ball lights after 10 years.I found the excitement growing inside me.I loved to skate.So I was out there having the time of my life，listening to the music with a smile on my face and heart.I hoped I could skate again.

I belonged here.It was so right to be back on the ice.

“Did you use to be a skater？”A little girl looked up at me with questioning eyes.Taking time to give my answer，I looked around the rink (溜冰場)，where I could see so many years of lessons，Olympic dreams，and a love of the ice would never die.“No，”I answered，“I'm a skater.” With a smile，I glided away.

Skating had finally turned me into a champion——a winner of a lifelong passion for favorite sport.
