“Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.”

“I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.”

“I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.”

“I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.”

“The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!”

“The definition of swagger, in my opinion, is you have to have that arrogance, that confidence that you are the best out there at all times.”

“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.”

“So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.”

“Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.”
