The Olympics shows the community what gymnastics is all about.

I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics.

People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.

Gymnastics is my whole life, and I dream of going to the Olympics and being a world champ.

I want to bring more gymnastics on television.

Gymnastics should be popular everywhere; you just need the right person to start the right programme.

Gymnastics demands so much of our time. We train all week and travel and compete on weekends. The people you're surrounded by really become your second family, your best friends, your sisters. My coach was like a second mother for me.

Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.

I love the Olympics. Something about the Olympics just makes everything competitive.

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.
