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.

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.

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

Everything for me started with my love of the sport. In society we're losing the fun with kids and pushing success on them too hard. Success comes from fun.

Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold.

It might have been easier to retire, to say my knee couldn't handle it and let that be that. At the same time, the prospect of not being able to compete in gymnastics anymore was heartbreaking.

I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
