I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.

I can't even imagine what it's like and right now I'm like in shock, I can't believe that I'm Olympic Champion.

I love working out and when I'm home. I love the feeling of walking out of a class. That's just an addictive feeling for me.

Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.

I love to work out. I need to work out! Nothing makes me feel better than walking out of a spin or barre class knowing my body and mind got some attention.

Getting through a workout is just very fulfilling. That 'Ah, I didn't want to do it but I did it and now I feel 10 times better.'

I would say facing the obstacles surrounding the day-to-day pressures of an elite athlete at a very young age was not the easiest task. Learning to deal with the nerves and feeling the pressure of representing my country, all while wanting to achieve my own dreams, was a big obstacle to plow through.
