I've missed being able to flip in the air, flip on the beam and swing on the bars.
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 fell in love with gymnastics. I love what I do now. I work with people that I love to be around. Success comes from that.
Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down.
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 want to learn skiing and parallel bar gymnastics.
I've still got a few moves from my days as a gymnast.
I've never been a hero at gymnastics.
What makes the vault so spectacular is because it's a very athletic type of event, where it needs a lot of speed, a lot of explosive action and, of course, great coordination.
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.
I didn't know I wanted to be a gymnast; I was just introduced to the gym. I loved the place because it looked like a hi-tech playground with mats and a lot of things I can hang from.
