    Anna Gomez is a successful TV (主持人) ，but most people still think of her as a famous skater. “As a child,m? dream was to become ? dancer. I ?i?n,t own any skates until I was nine,and didn't become really interested in skating until I was fourteen”，said Anna. Anna went to university at the age of 18.Although she spent a long time skating every day,she did well in her lessons. “My parents supported (资助) me through university,and expected me to do well in skating,” she said.

    In a sport where most stars become famous as teenagers,Anna was unusual. “When I was young,I sometimes got angry at competitions and shouted at judges (裁判员) if I disagreed with them. That made me unpopular,especially with other skaters. I played as well as them,but I didn't believe in myself. The problem was in my head 一 I just didn’t think I could be the winner. It changed as I won more competitions,and I was at my best by the age of twenty-five”。 said Anna.

    Anna retired (退役) from skating five years later. “It was a difficult decision. People always asked me when I was going to stop. But I wasn’t sure if I was ready to give up. Now,looking back,I’m glad I stopped when I did. You shouldn’t think too much about the past 一 just move on to the next thing,” said Anna.
