As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.

If I work on a certain move constantly, then finally, it doesn't seem risky to me. The idea is that the move stays dangerous and it looks dangerous to my foes, but it is not to me. Hard work has made it easy.

Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.

I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

Work hard for your goals and live in the moment.

I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age.

I know how to smile, I know how to laugh, I know how to play. But I know how to do these things only after I have fulfilled my mission.
