London 2012 is all about winning a medal. Not just any medal, the gold medal.

Growing up, I felt insecure about my build. I didn't feel very feminine. But as time went on, I learned to completely embrace my body.

I try to live my life one day at a time, and if I look too far in advance, I get really stressed.

I have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.

You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

When I was younger, I was a complete tomboy. Then in college I started emerging out of the tomboy stage and dressing differently.

My family doesn't do happy endings. We do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. We are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.
