At an Olympics Game, you want to enjoy it, especially if you know it's going to be your last one.
There's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.
I share Len Saunders’ concerns about childhood obesity and getting kids to be active beginning at an early age.
I was always athletic and I could do a lot of things
The rate of childhood obesity is just ridiculous. Anytime I can get involved with teaching them how to get physical exercise, I want to help in any way possible
I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner.
I don't believe that there's anyone in the world without a competitive bone in their body.
I don't think I have the mileage on me to really complain of any injuries yet.
I think that to be a competitive athlete, you have to be goal-oriented.
There are parents, siblings, teachers and friends, but counting on them to motivate you isn't fair. They've all got their own lives, and while the may be able to help you out, if you can motivate yourself, then you're golden.
If you can't handle all the injuries and scars, choose a less demanding sport.
We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.
And we realized that it was kind of a starting point for gymnastics, to go professional, and also to just get a lot more of the audiences in the arenas on the off years, in the years that we're not in the Olympics.
I can now successfully drive a stick. That's a huge accomplishment.
In gymnastics, you have to be perfect every step along the way.
Everyone has obstacles, and you're not going to have the right answer or do the right thing every single time.
Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear.
Floor exercise, the longest you run is two or three steps. In the vault, it's not a whole lot more than that.
For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.
I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.
I want to bring more gymnastics on television.
I'm an athlete rep, so I'll be available if they need me for anything
I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest
When you grow up on camera and in the public eye, you feel you have to put forth this image. I just took that to the extreme and there was a lot of pressure on me
Charles Barkley was a big teddy bear.
