Gymnastics is not only a good thing to live by, but it is important to understand how it does help you in life.

I fell in love with gymnastics. I love what I do now. I work with people that I love to be around. Success comes from that.

I was under pressure because of what people were saying about my physique.

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 was always known as that stocky, muscular, powerful, short, athlete. People always wondered if I was on steroids, and it was because I wasn't that long and lean, flexible, artistic gymnast. It didn't affect me too much but it got to the point where I tried to be that long and lean gymnast, and it just wasn't possible.

I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.

I love lean meats like chicken, turkey. I'm obsessed with sushi and fish in general. I eat a lot of veggies and hummus.
