I'm not the kind of girl who breaks down in public.

I'm a typical college girl; I love to shop and gossip with my roommates about boys and whatnot.

As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.

And I want a gold medal more than anything. I just want a gold medal, so that's been pushing me forward.

It was probably right after I made my comeback - after retiring post-2008 Olympics - when I finally felt more at ease with my body. Being away from the sport helped put things in perspective.

I like that my body is in shape and toned, and isn't too muscular. I feel I still have a woman's physique.

I think having the right music can really help you have fun while staying in shape. Make a great playlist that motivates you!
