Gymnastics Is So Complex.

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.

I Know How Much More I Need To Do To Be Where I Want.

That's The Drama Of Our Sport. Our Margin Of Error Is So Small That Anything Can Happen.

I Was Under Pressure Because Of What People Were Saying About My Physique.

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.
