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

That's the drama of our sport. Our margin of error is so small that anything can happen.

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.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason. Retiring was scary and it was tough to give up gymnastics, but so many great opportunities have come from it that I never expected. And those wouldn't have happened had I not accepted my injury as a way to try something new.

I always have someone to look up to, and I think it helps me with motivating myself.

Were taught at such a young age that you can always be better and that youre never perfect and that youre never good enough.

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