I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age. ↗

As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport. ↗

Figure skating is an unlikely Olympic event but its good television. It's sort of a combination of gymnastics and ballet. A little sexy too which doesn't hurt. ↗

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

I think about my goals. There were a lot of times in gymnastics when I really didn't want to go in and train, but you can't make it to the Olympics if you don't train! ↗

I told myself after 2008 that I was done for good. But they say you can't keep a gymnast away from her sport. ↗

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. ↗

In some ways the ACL tear was a blessing. I had hesitated to return to elite gymnastics after the 2008 Olympics. I told myself I had already accomplished so much, and the road was just going to get harder if I continued. ↗

I didn't want to be a dancer. I just did it to work my way through college. But I was always an athlete and gymnast, so it came naturally. ↗
