"I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!"

About this Quote

In this quote, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan reviews her childhood and how it influenced her love for the athletic element of skating. She describes herself as a tomboy, someone who takes pleasure in activities typically connected with young boys, and reveals that she shared this trait with her 2 older brothers. This recommends that she was not afraid to get physical and play rough, which might have added to her interest in the more physically requiring aspects of skating, such as leaping. By acknowledging her tomboyish nature and connection to her siblings, Kerrigan offers insight into her early experiences and how they formed her enthusiasm for skating.
