I think we could have sent three people to the Olympics and done equally well. We have a lot of great girls in our generation right now.

I think our group is really strong right now. I think we could have sent three teams to the Olympics and done equally well with all of them.
couple gave missing olympic push stepped team
Missing the Olympic team gave me the push that I needed. I stepped it up a couple of notches and did my stuff.
chinese pieces paper
I got a custom-made silk dress from a Chinese tailor for really cheap. I sketched it out on a piece of paper, and they took my measurements and made the dress for me in a day!
mom crazy gymnastics
I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom's like, you're driving me crazy - do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it, I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there.
growing-up fun team
Growing up I definitely looked up to Dominique Moceanu. She was my favorite gymnast and she was on that '96 Olympic team. She was always so fun to watch. I kind of wanted to model my career after hers.
teenager body gains
As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.
soccer sports years
I literally tried every sport and was miserable. Soccer couldn't hold my attention. I couldn't figure skate. I'm afraid to swim. So I did dance for five years. It came a time where I was getting a little bit bored with it.
mistake making-mistakes easy
When you make mistakes during routines, it's not easy getting through them.
