Hurricane Sandy had completely flooded my training rink in Hackensack, which meant I had to drive to a different ice rink every day and sit in gas lines for hours. I packed my suitcases for Russia with flashlights on my head because we had no power. That is very stressful when you are going to a huge international competition.
