Don't force anything. Find what you love and stick with it.

I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.

I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.

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

I had surgery to repair the ACL in February 2010 and was back in the gym by June, but rushed things too quickly and ended up re-tearing my MCL in September.

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 had a constant fear, a constant little doubt in my mind: 'OK, I'm getting ready to do my standing back full on beam and I might re-tear my ACL.'
