People Only See Gymnastics On Tv And

Were Taught At Such A Young Age That You Can Always Be Better And That Youre Never Perfect And That Youre Never Good Enough.

It Sounds Funny, But The 2008 Olympics Were Something That Just Kind Of Happened, And I Was Lucky They Came At A Point When I Was Uninjured And Well Prepared. As A Gymnast, You Can't Ask For Much More.

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.

My Approach To Gymnastics In Beijing Was Heavily Based On The Amount Of Difficulty I Could Do.

I Missed Being Considered An Athlete And Having That Competitive Drive, And Missed Having Something To Work For Every Day. I'd Taken Two And A Half Years Away From The Sport And Was Out Of Shape. I Wanted To Get Back To Where I Was In 2008.
