Hobbies include dancing, swimming, biking, running and reading ... Most prized possessions are her skates ... Has been a vegetarian almost her whole life and has double-jointed shoulders ... If she could be on any reality TV show it would be "So You Think You Can Dance" because she would like to learn more genres of dance ... Wants to attend medical school ... Late grandfather, Fred Praeger, was the junior breast stroke champion of Austria in the 1920s and competed internationally in track and field events ... During the summer of 2005 she could not skate for four months due to a separated accessory navicular bone, sustained when she slipped down the stairs at the Olympic Training Center ... She passed her junior free skate test on Aug. 31, 2005, just one week after resuming skating ... Would like to meet Olympic champion Tenley Albright, who overcame setbacks in her skating career and later achieved so much professionally as a doctor ... Listens to the Beatles, the Shins, classical music, Dire Straits, Tom Petty and Simon and Garfunkel, among others.
