When I go in to compete, whether it's gymnastics or anything else, I do my own thing. I compete with myself.
From Shannon Miller
Gymnastics uses every single part of your body, every little tiny muscle that you never even knew.
Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.
At an Olympics Game, you want to enjoy it, especially if you know it's going to be your last one.
At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.
Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear.
Everyone has obstacles, and you're not going to have the right answer or do the right thing every single time.
Floor exercise, the longest you run is two or three steps. In the vault, it's not a whole lot more than that.
For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.
Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that.
