Beyond the ultimate pursuit of excellence, skating also means being carried away by the moment, embracing your emotions and allowing yourself to be taken by surprise. Whether that is on Olympic ice or black ice on a frozen lake – the best things in life happen unexpectedly!

Ascolta il tuo respiro, ti racconta una vita.
Listen to your breath, it tells you a life.

Oggi 10 anni fa! Nel momento in cui ho capito di essere campionessa del mondo mi sono sentita sopraffatta dall'amore per il mio sport, la mia gente e tutte le ragazze e ragazzi che inseguono i loro sogni con coraggio e dedizione. Se c’è l’ho fatta io, ce la potete fare anche voi!

Missing suitcase, jet leg and skates on loan. Actually, I borrowed the pants and the jacket as well. However I am on the ice with a smile!
Kisses from Japan!

"Cado 100 volte, mi rialzo 101" Il mantra che mi ripeto dal momento in cui l’ambulanza mi portava al pronto soccorso giovedì scorso, quella che doveva essere una piacevole giornata di lavoro.

Doppia frattura alla mandibola, 5 punti e un forte mal di testa.
Sono state giornate burrascose, notti insonni dal dolore ma nonostante tutto vi posso dire che tornerò presto a stare bene! La vita sorprende, non sempre nel migliore dei modi, ma ci si rialza più forti di prima!

Fisicamente sul divano, ma con la mente sono là! Dopo la tempesta torna sempre il sole vero?

While physically here on the couch with my mind I’m out there! After the storm comes always the sun isn’t it?

No matter if during a competition in a fully packed arena or on wild ice by myself before sunrise, skating filles my heart with with joy, gratitude, hope and peace. Wherever you are in the world, let’s celebrate the magic of skating together.

Skating on wild ice is an otherworldly experience. I was overwhelmed by its purity, its colors and how it resonates beneath my blades. What a privilege to live moments like these, surrounded by the sheer beauty of Mother Nature

This choreography was born last fall, during the recovery from an injury. A difficult time, yet giving life to a new project helped me heal and move on.
The unexpected can interrupt our journey but dreams never cease!

Twenty years have passed since my first world championship. Today, as I look back at that young girl and her big dreams, I wish best of luck and success to everyone competing at #WorldFigure this week in Saitama, especially those who are participating for the first time.
