My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
The sport is called artistic gymnastics. So you do have to be a little bit of an actress.
Nastia Liukin, I was obsessed with her. And I say was, but really am obsessed with her. She's just so amazing.
I started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon's Gymnastix in Houston, and that's how I got started.
I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
I've always had a fascination with gymnastics, since I was a kid. It was the one thing at the Olympics that I would be like, 'Mom can I stay up late to watch gymnastics?'
Gymnastics is so complex.
I've always had an undeniable love for gymnastics.
I think gymnastics was associated with the 10. I thought that belonged to the sport, and somehow we gave it way.
But, I couldn't live without creation gymnastics.
Pommel horse is probably the most nerve-wracking because it's one of the events that is easiest to fall off, and then you lose the momentum of the whole routine.
Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down.
Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.
The thing with gymnastics is people don't always know the events. So they'll ask me about the rings, and I'll have to say, 'Women don't do that.' Or they'll use the wrong words, like horse instead of vault. They get confused.
I was a gymnast when I was little, like 8, 9, 10.
Finally I almost dropped gymnastics because I couldn't live without create, and you know, and then, all public in the world start to say, we don't want to see gymnastics without OLGA.
I've still got a few moves from my days as a gymnast.
If there has not been such a thing as gymnastics, I would have had to invent it because I feel at one with the sport.
I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics.
Because up to sixteen years old you feel gymnastics more. You can show your emotion, grace, like woman gymnastics, not kid's gymnastics. I feel I have good shape, and I can do it elements everything, but, it's not competition for me.
I did rhythmic gymnastics and I absolutely adored it. I was in the squad for Sussex. I wasn't stupendous, but it was something that I was good at and I really loved the combination of discipline and expression. That, to me, was just dreamy.
The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
I like seeing advanced acrobatics, but I also like to see more than tumbling. It's important to combine the artistry of gymnastics with the tough skills. It's called artistic gymnastics. We should stand by the name.
You want to picture yourself being on top and doing amazing gymnastics.
