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

My approach to gymnastics in Beijing was heavily based on the amount of difficulty I could do.

To have any doubt in your body is the biggest weakness an athlete can have.

Gymnastics has made me strong. I feel like it broke me down to my lowest point, but at the same time, it has given me the greatest strength anyone could ask for.

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.

Staying healthy and consistent is paramount.

My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.
