I Started Taking Gymnastic Classes

When I Was Younger, My Coach, Liang Chow, Made All The Decisions. I Would Go To The Gym For Practice, Do Exactly What Chow Told Me To Do, Go Home, Come Back And Start All Over Again. If Chow Told Me To Do 50 Squat Jumps, I Did 50 Squat Jumps.

Hot Yoga Is The Best. When You're In [class], There Are No Cell Phones, No Talking, No Distractions. You're Taking A Leave From Reality For An Hour Or So.

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

In 2008 I Didn't Take It All In Enough. I Was So Wrapped Up In Just The Competition That I Missed What Was Going On Around Me. If I Am Given That Opportunity Again To Go To The Olympics And Be An Athlete I Want To Take It All In Because I Feel Like This Is My Last Shot And I Want To Feel The Team Spirit. I Want To Really Live And Breathe The Usa.

It's Been Strange And Weird Watching The Other Girls At The U.s. Olympic Trials Just Because I Was Training To Be Out There Myself.
