Haein Lee: I always dream about the Olympics… the Olympics are the most important competition. But there are so many important competitions in skating: World Championships, Four Continents, Grand Prix Final. So for now, I just don’t want to think about the Olympics. I want to focus on my off-season training and then next season.
