That's what everybody remembers. They don't remember how many medals I won in my career. They remember the 10s.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.
It's insane to have won all those things - not possible. But what I love is learning, which never stops and is nothing to do with the medals you've won.
Honestly, it's not the medals that I feel so proud of. It's the way I conducted myself as an athlete, the hard work that I put forward.
Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.
The greatest memory for me of the 1984 Olympics was not the individual honors, but standing on the podium with my teammates to receive our team gold medal.
Two gold medals and two silver, I don't think is that bad... I think I still did a pretty good job.
I don't know where my medals are.
I won my first medal when I was nine years old. It was at the Boston Open.
Records are there to be broken. Lots of people would love to swap their world record for an Olympic medal, but for me, my medals are there forever and ever, and that's what does it for me.
I know it won't be eight medals again. If you want to compare me to that, that's your decision, not mine. I'm going out there to try to accomplish the things that I have in my mind and in my heart.
