For me going down in history being the first black American to win the gold, I think more colored people are going to start coming to the gymnastics world and say 'okay, anything is possible. If Gabby did it, then I can do it too.'

I don't like to try strange foods. I like to explore different foods, but if you ask me to eat crocodile or frogs... I'm like no. That's where I draw the line.

If we set our minds, we can achieve anything.

I just want to continue with gymnastics because I'm still young and fresh. I think can get some more titles under my belt.

It's definitely important to have your mom and family there to back you up and cheering from the stands.

The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.

You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous!
