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

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.

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

To win Olympic gold it takes a lot of HARDWORK, a lot of PASSION, a lot of SACRIFICES.

Sometimes I like to watch videos of myself and see how confident I was.

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