I think gymnastics was associated with the 10. I thought that belonged to the sport, and somehow we gave it way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.
For our team leotards, we get about ten to choose from to actually compete in at the Olympics.
I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics.
Remember before nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I was total skinny, I was small, very strong, they may be don't like to see a gymnastics like that. I don't know but, gymnastics, might. Nineteen seventy two supposed to be change somewhere.
Eleven years old is not an early age to set your sight on the Olympics for a gymnast, because we normally peak in high school. I first qualified for the Olympics team during my sophomore year in high school, when I was 15 years old.
Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.
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.
I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.
Gymnastics was my calling. I think it chose me in a lot of ways.
I know gymnastics. It's always been a subjective appreciation.
