for some people life outside the spotlight is death.

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 ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

I hoped to win a medal and hoped it would be gold. I knew I was good but didn't know I would be the one to score something that had never been done before.

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.

My parents were very loving, but disciplinarians.
