The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If there's anything that is the center of my career both creatively and emotionally, it's the Olympics.
The time leading up to the 1996 Olympics was the most demanding and stressful of my career. The sport I had loved so much was slowly becoming a nightmare as I trained with Bela and Marta Karolyi the summer before the Olympics.
I graduated a the top of my class in the '84 Olympic Games; I won a gold medal.
I really wanted to come into the Olympics.
The Olympics is a special event and winning is very important. For me as a world record holder and world champion, the only thing I am missing is the Olympic gold medal and that is what I want to achieve in my career.
In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.
I've been to three Olympics and I don't feel I've ever quite achieved my best at any of them.
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
When I chose athletics, I knew I wanted to be Olympic champion, and now I have done it in London.
The Olympics: not one of my better memories.
