I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.

When you are at the Olympic Games, it comes down to a ten thousandth of a hair between making the next round or winning a race or getting second or third.

I think gymnastics was associated with the 10. I thought that belonged to the sport, and somehow we gave it way.

I can't believe that I'm on the Olympic team.

To be an Olympian - not many people can say that. But first of all, I've got to make the team, and I know a lot of hard work is going to go into it, so hopefully it pays off.

To have full and multiple criteria is the best way to decide who is best prepared to be on that Olympic team.

I think four Olympics is probably enough. Five Olympics is a long time, but there's nothing wrong with that if I'm into it and I'm healthy and my priorities can fit around that.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.

The Olympics are only once every four years, so you have to take advantage of all your opportunities, both to be an inspiration to people and help support your sponsors who help you.

As a child I was very involved with sports and I knew at age 9 that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.
