Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.

If you push through the hard days you can get through anything.

Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.

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.

I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.

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.'

Did I choose my hair texture? No. I'm grateful for having this hair on my head.
