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

I always feel like I'm the young one, I'm the small one.

It's nearly every country's tactic to keep their greatest competitors a secret.

It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you can't ask for much more.

I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.

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

Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.
