I Started Taking Gymnastic Classes

In Some Ways The Acl Tear Was A Blessing. I Had Hesitated To Return To Elite Gymnastics After The 2008 Olympics. I Told Myself I Had Already Accomplished So Much, And The Road Was Just Going To Get Harder If I Continued.

I Pay Attention To My Diet To Be A Healthier Gymnast, But I'm Not Obsessive Over It.

Retiring Was Scary And It Was Tough To Give Up Gymnastics, But So Many Great Opportunities Have Come From It That I Never Expected.

I'm Trying To Stay As Calm As Possible And Focus One Day At A Time, But When Reality Sets In, I Feel Everything: Anxiety, Excitement, Nerves, Pressure And Joy.

I Feel Like If You Compare The Commentary, What's Covered With Female Athletics, As With Men. On Any Given Day, If A Guy Competes, You're Going To Critique His Technique And His Performance, Training. With A Girl, You Don't Do The Same Thing. You Might Mention A Little Bit Of That, But You're Also Going To Get What She Was Wearing, How She Performed, What She Looked Like. I Feel Like It Should Be The Same.
