I realize how much ballet gave me, and because of ballet, Iām known as a graceful gymnast.
By continually increasing the difficulty of the sport, we are discouraging younger athletes from starting and continuing in the sport. But most importantly, we are losing the beauty of our sport. We do not want gymnastics to lose what makes it so great - its artistic beauty.
I don't think many people will remember me when I retire.
Hard work is always hard work, for young gymnasts and old gymnasts. Whoever can handle this will be a champion.
