Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that.

I love performing in front of an audience and seeing smiles on the kids' faces.

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

Go into the sport because you have fun doing it, not because of 'what ifs' and dreams of gold medals. That way, no matter what happens, you win.

There are no limits on your dreams if you're willing to work for it.

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

I don't believe that there's anyone in the world without a competitive bone in their body.
