That's the drama of our sport. Our margin of error is so small that anything can happen.

I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom.

People put too much emphasis on looks.

Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.

Gymnastics has made me strong. I feel like it broke me down to my lowest point, but at the same time, it has given me the greatest strength anyone could ask for.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason. Retiring was scary and it was tough to give up gymnastics, but so many great opportunities have come from it that I never expected. And those wouldn't have happened had I not accepted my injury as a way to try something new.

I feel like when there's so much conversation about women's athletics right now, we need to focus on their performance and their skill.
