In gymnastics, smaller will always be better in many ways. The stress in the head, that will be the same for all. But the stress on the body and the concussions it must endure, that will always be easier for the little ones.

Success depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice, how much you are willing to alter your everyday life for a particular goal.

I am very familiar with Hungary, because I grew up in Romania, which borders it.

The rest of the world laughed at American gymnastics before I came.

I still love to find and develop the young athletes in traditional ways. I like to watch the physical and mental growth. That has always been very exciting.

I know gymnastics. It's always been a subjective appreciation.

The Olympics shows the community what gymnastics is all about.
