Anna Gomez
Anna Gomez is a successful TV sports presenter, but most people still think of her as the famous women's ice-skating champion who won several important competitions when she was younger. ‘As a child, my dream was actually to become a ballet dancer – I didn't own any skates until I was nine, and didn't become really keen on skating until I was fourteen,' says Anna. She went on to university, where, despite ice-skating almost all the time, she left with an excellent degree. ‘I felt I owed it to my parents. They supported me through university, and expected me to do well there – I didn't feel I could disappoint them.'
In a sport where most stars become famous as teenagers, Anna was unusual in being in her twenties before she won any major titles. ‘When I was younger, I got very angry at competitions, shouting at judges if I disagreed with them. That made me unpopular, especially with other skaters. My technique was just as good as theirs and I had a very encouraging coach at the time. The problem was in my head – I just didn't think I had what it takes to be a champion. That changed as I won more competitions, and I was performing at my best by the age of twenty-five.'
Anna retired from professional ice-skating five years later, having accomplished great success during that period. ‘It was a difficult decision. As you get near the end of your career, people always ask when you're going to stop. At the time, I wasn't sure that I was actually ready to give up. But, looking back, I'm glad I stopped when I did. You shouldn't think too much about the past – just move on to the next thing.'
