Stretching was a major part of my preparation.

The worst injury I ever had was a stress fracture from running.

I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.

For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.

I used to keep injuries to myself. It would just make it worse and worse. Now I'm having none of that.

Everyone gets hurt, but I've probably had the most injuries.

Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.

I've been practicing for a while now and physically trying to get in better shape as well after the injuries.

I was a semi-professional gymnast as a child. I did rhythmic gymnastics, but I sustained an injury and strained all the muscles in my spine.

Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.
