My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
I started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon's Gymnastix in Houston, and that's how I got started.
Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.
I've always had a fascination with gymnastics, since I was a kid. It was the one thing at the Olympics that I would be like, 'Mom can I stay up late to watch gymnastics?'
For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.
I fell in love with gymnastics. I love what I do now. I work with people that I love to be around. Success comes from that.
I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.
I think gymnastics was associated with the 10. I thought that belonged to the sport, and somehow we gave it way.
I'd say I'm quite powerful so I'm not afraid of jumps or acrobatic elements. The hardest part is... get on the beam and stay there on top of it!
I was a gymnast as a little girl.
Definitely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That's my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She's a gymnast. So I'm a huge fan.
Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport, hands-down.
The most fun is the high bar - I just like the adrenaline rush of doing the high-flying releases.
Gymnastics was my way to travelling the world.
The thing with gymnastics is people don't always know the events. So they'll ask me about the rings, and I'll have to say, 'Women don't do that.' Or they'll use the wrong words, like horse instead of vault. They get confused.
I was a gymnast when I was little, like 8, 9, 10.
My mom was a high school gymnast.
I want to learn skiing and parallel bar gymnastics.
The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics.
Gymnastics is so huge in the Olympics. There are a lot of fans who want to see more.
I was a gymnast for years.
I like seeing advanced acrobatics, but I also like to see more than tumbling. It's important to combine the artistry of gymnastics with the tough skills. It's called artistic gymnastics. We should stand by the name.
What makes the vault so spectacular is because it's a very athletic type of event, where it needs a lot of speed, a lot of explosive action and, of course, great coordination.
I didn't know I wanted to be a gymnast; I was just introduced to the gym. I loved the place because it looked like a hi-tech playground with mats and a lot of things I can hang from.
