I love performing in front of an audience and seeing smiles on the kids' faces.
I got into law school to supplement my business background. I'm not planning to practice law.
I don't think I have the mileage on me to really complain of any injuries yet.
For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.
It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems
Floor exercise, the longest you run is two or three steps. In the vault, it's not a whole lot more than that.
I was always athletic and I could do a lot of things
I share Len Saunders’ concerns about childhood obesity and getting kids to be active beginning at an early age.
There's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.
At an Olympics Game, you want to enjoy it, especially if you know it's going to be your last one.
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
I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest
I'm an athlete rep, so I'll be available if they need me for anything
I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner
