每次翻阅2022年奥运会的照片对我来说一直是件痛苦的事情，不仅仅是因为照片太少（原因显而易见），还因为这些照片勾起了我各种各样的回忆。在隔离区的访谈，与志愿者们的聊天，尽管呼吸着同样的空气，却与其他人好像处在完全不同的星球上......这一切看起来如此遥远，却又深印在我人生记忆中。

几天前，继国际体育仲裁法庭之后，国际滑联也公布了决定，宣布我和我的队友们成为2022年奥运会金牌得主。我无法用言语表达我的心情，我愿意和大家一起分享这过山车般的感受。

正如大家所看到的那样，我一直是直言不讳地表达体育运动中无可置疑地需要正直和公平的观点。当这些价值观被忽视，取而代之的是不惜一切代价追求胜利的无底线手段时，胜利就失去了所有的意义。在过去的两年里，我一直生活在一种奇异的困境中，黑白颠倒，真理被践踏，我们的梦想就像暴风雨后充满雾气的清晨一样沉寂，让人开始失去希望。

爱因斯坦曾经说过："我所寻求的只是以我微弱的能力为真理和正义服务，冒着所有人反对的风险。” 公众非议运动员并不陌生。人们期望运动员永远保持卓越、体育精神和美德的完美形象，但与此同时，他们又强迫运动员低头倾听谬异并沉默顺从。敢于表达自己观点的运动员会被视作异类，尽管这些运动员才是真正的局内人，他们一生的亲身经历为他们的判断提供了依据，他们才是真正在竞技场上亲力亲为的人。但是他们却被告知他们所亲身经历的一切是虚假的。当了解到这一点后，我听从了自己的内心，恪守公平和廉洁竞争是奥林匹克建立的基石和公义，如果没有后者，前者就不可能持续下去。

在国际体育仲裁法庭和国际滑联做出决定之前的不确定性和动荡也许是我们必须承受的历练，作为 2022年奥运会冠军，我和我的队友们在迈向更高一层的努力中取得了一个小小的胜利，这个努力的目标是让现在和未来的所有运动员、我们的孩子、我们的兄弟们能够为自己的梦想奋斗、自信地参与竞争，不再承受不公正的苦涩余味。但这场胜利绝不仅仅是我或我的队友们的胜利，也不仅仅是美国队的胜利。这关系到每一个国家的每一名运动员——那些秉持诚信、体育精神和公平原则，将之与自己的奥林匹克理想视为绝对真理的所有运动员。

我为我们整个团队感到无比骄傲，衷心感谢我的支持者，并为能够成为奥运会金牌获得者而深感荣幸。

此外，我想借此机会纪念前不久去世的医学博士Kristin Abbott，她是我们优秀的2022年冬奥会队医。第二张照片的左下方就是她。如您能为她的纪念教育基金捐赠一份爱心，这对我和我的团队意义重大。

Looking through photos from the 2022 Olympics has been difficult, not only due to the lack thereof (for obvious reasons) but also due to various memories they unearthed. Conversations in locker rooms, chatting with volunteers, and being on an entirely different planet from everyone else despite breathing the same air… it all seems so distant, yet simultaneously present in my life.

A few days ago, CAS released its decision, followed by the ISU, and my teammates and I were declared the 2022 Olympic Gold Medalists. I can’t verbalize the emotions I discovered I could feel since then, but I can share a bit about the roller coaster it’s been.

As many of you know, I have been outspoken about the incontrovertible need for integrity and fairness in sports. When these values are overlooked in favor of the blinding need to win at all costs, victory loses all meaning. Having spent the last two years in this strange limbo where up was down, truth was ridiculed, and silence fell upon our dreams like the foggy morning after a storm, I had begun to lose hope.

Einstein once said, “What I seek to accomplish is simply to serve with my feeble capacity truth and justice, at the risk of pleasing no one.” Athletes in the public eye are no stranger to backlash. They are expected to uphold a perfect image of excellence, sportsmanship, and virtue - yet simultaneously they are to heed criticism with bowed heads and acquiesce to conformity. Athletes who dare to voice their contention are made an example out of, despite the fact that they are literally the ones physically involved in the matter, with a lifetime of firsthand experience informing their judgment. They are the ones actually out in the arena doing the work with their own hands, being told their experience is fake as they are literally experiencing it. Knowing this, I listened to my head and heart, staying true to the axiom that the Olympics exists on the basis of fair and clean competition, and without the latter the former cannot endure.

The turbulence that preceded CAS and ISU's decisions, however, may just have been worth it, for now, as the 2022 Olympic champions, my teammates and I secured a small victory amidst the larger endeavor to move towards a world where the athletes of today and tomorrow, our children, our brethren, can strive for their dreams and compete proudly without the bitter aftertaste of injustice. But this victory was never just about me or my teammates, or about Team USA. This is about every single athlete from every country - those who hold the tenets of integrity, sportsmanship, and fairness in equal regard to their own Olympic aspirations as absolute truth.

I am infinitely proud of my team, grateful to my supporters, and honored to be an Olympic Gold Medalist.

Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to commemorate the late Dr.Kristin Abbott, M.D., our wonderful team doctor at the 2022 Winter Olympics, who recently passed away. She is in the bottom left of the second photo. lt would mean a lot to my team and I if you would contribute to her memorial education fund.
