Nellie Kim, an Olympic champion from the former Soviet Union, got a 10 right after me in '76, but nobody talks about that.
I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.
But let me do I will show the world what gymnastics looks like. Well may be this is a future gymnastics.
Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.
I loved gymnastics. I was eager to compete. I was hungry to go out there and be the best in the world, and I had that determination.
Having the opportunity to go to the U.S. Olympics was great because I was the first Latina in over 30 years to compete in gymnastics at the Olympics.
There's nothing better than going out there and seeing USA on your leotard.
I was a world champion on the trampoline at an international level, and gymnastics competitor.
Definitely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That's my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She's a gymnast. So I'm a huge fan.
Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.
I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.
Gymnastics has given me everything in my life. I will continue to stay involved and try to give back to the sport that has given me so much.
At the end of the day, I just want to see good gymnastics!
I wish I could be good at gymnastics.
I want to bring more gymnastics on television.
I went to the University of Arizona on a full athletic scholarship for gymnastics, where I competed and got 9th in the nation at the NCAAs.
