When I was 3 my parents put me in gymnastics because I was a bundle of energy and they just didn't know what to do with me! They put me in a Tots class and I just fell in love with it.

People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.

There's always a chance. Anything can happen.

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.

I feel like if you compare the commentary, what's covered with female athletics, as with men. On any given day, if a guy competes, you're going to critique his technique and his performance, training. With a girl, you don't do the same thing. You might mention a little bit of that, but you're also going to get what she was wearing, how she performed, what she looked like. I feel like it should be the same.

To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.

I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom.
