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.
equally group olympics sent strong teams three
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.
equally generation girls great olympics people sent three
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.
case girls group hard pick since strong
I don't think in this case that we had to re-build at all since the Olympics. We had a big, strong group of girls and it was hard for them to pick that team.
dream gymnastics knowing
Wake up every day knowing that today is a new day and only you can determine the outcome of that day. So dream big, accept the challenge, and never look back.
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!
trying carbs lows
I try not to deprive myself of anything. I don't do the low-carb thing or anything like that.
trying firsts olympics
When I was trying out for my first Olympics at 16, my family and coaches tried to regulate what I ate. But the stricter they got, the more I rebelled.
sports perspective ease
It was probably right after I made my comeback - after retiring post-2008 Olympics - when I finally felt more at ease with my body. Being away from the sport helped put things in perspective.
dream olympics dreams-come-true
It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.
running thinking tables
I was terrified of vault, like literally I hated it. I had a fear of running as fast as I could at a solid object, which is I think a normal fear to have because nobody would really want to do that. Once I got over the fear of running into the table I just kind of relaxed and now it's like autopilot. I love it.
school want degrees
I really want to go back to school and finish up my sociology degree.
dark white chocolate
I love chocolate. I like milk and dark chocolate, but definitely not white.
body shapes feels
I like that my body is in shape and toned, and isn't too muscular. I feel I still have a woman's physique.
