I think this is all my life. Because if I was split gymnastics and something else like far, fun or to go with friends. No, this, you're supposed to one go, one straight road and to do every day. And touch the wall, of the goal.

The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.

But, I couldn't live without creation gymnastics.

If there has not been such a thing as gymnastics, I would have had to invent it because I feel at one with the sport.

And I suggested to change very simple way to Olympic Games, in one competition, two different levels. Separate from, until sixteen, and after sixteen years old.

This ability to conquer oneself is no doubt the most precious of all things sports bestows.

Up to nineteen seventy six when I quit gymnastics I was very, disappointed because I didn't have anything which is, live with. I didn't have a friend so I didn't have a coach anymore.
