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

After 13 years of hard landings in gymnastics, one ski run had delivered the biggest injury of my career.

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.'

I feel like if you compare the commentary, what's covered with female athletics, as with men. On any given day, if a guy competes, you're going to critique his technique and his performance, training. With a girl, you don't do the same thing. You might mention a little bit of that, but you're also going to get what she was wearing, how she performed, what she looked like. I feel like it should be the same.

Staying healthy and consistent is paramount.

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

I was always trying to be leaner and thinner to fit the standard and the mold.
