It's important to have a plan, a big picture. You can deviate from it or change it completely, but it gives you something to work for.

In gymnastics, you have to be perfect every step along the way.

If you want to take it up a step and aim to become a competitive gymnast, you have to be mentally strong and prepared to take on the workload of going to the gym every day, rain or shine.

So if you think being thin is enough to succeed in gymnastics, you're wrong.

I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest

I will be talking with gymnasts from some of the other countries. I will be getting a feel for what they're thinking and what they're doing. It should be a really great meet

I don't think I have the mileage on me to really complain of any injuries yet.
