I live for Pilates reformer class. I go at least three times a week. It's a great way to lengthen your muscles, stretch, and kind of relax your mind.

I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.

I missed being considered an athlete and having that competitive drive, and missed having something to work for every day. I'd taken two and a half years away from the sport and was out of shape. I wanted to get back to where I was in 2008.

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

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

I know how much more I need to do to be where I want.

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