Were Taught At Such A Young Age

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.

It Sounds Funny, But The 2008 Olympics Were Something That Just Kind Of Happened, And I Was Lucky They Came At A Point When I Was Uninjured And Well Prepared. As A Gymnast, You Can't Ask For Much More.

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.

My Coach, Liang Chow, Had One Rule While I Was Training For The 2008 Olympics: No Skiing. I Could Do Anything I Wanted Outside The Gym, He Said, Except Ski.

I Was Able To Do Classics, The U.s. National Championships And The Pan American Games And Feel Like I Improved With Each Meet, But I Was Still Struggling With A Lot Of Residual Pain From The Two Surgeries.
