The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that. ↗

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 have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London. ↗

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 was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad. ↗

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 started in law school in '71 and graduated in '74. So I was training for the Olympics, running or averaging around 20 miles a day and going to law school full time. ↗

So, in a way I was hedging and saying that if the Olympic stuff doesn't work out at least I can be a lawyer. ↗
