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

I have a healthy lifestyle, but there's nothing you can really do to prevent from rolling an ankle or something like that.

It's been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself.

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

It might have been easier to retire, to say my knee couldn't handle it and let that be that. At the same time, the prospect of not being able to compete in gymnastics anymore was heartbreaking.

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

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