If you ever have a mistake, you try to just kind of forget about it because if you carry that with you for the rest of the routine, then the rest of your routine might not go as planned. So you just kind of shake it off, and you just continue your routine like you didn't fall.
It's amazing that I can inspire little kids to know that you can be short or tall, and your body type doesn't matter because you can do anything.
I feel like I'm small and mighty and pack a powerful punch, just like Tide PODS.
I never felt I had questions or needed answers or had a part of me that was missing.
My mom, Nellie, got me a rosary at church. I don't use it to pray before a competition. I'll just pray normally to myself, but I have it there in case.
I've never been to the Olympics, so I don't know what to expect. It's better for me, just like my first Worlds... My third Worlds, I knew what it was like, so I was like, 'Oh my goodness. But this is my first Olympics, and not knowing what to expect is good for me.
I'm thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.
Every year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it's the Olympics. I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.
I didn't really ever dream of going to the Olympics until after 2012.
It doesn't even matter if I don't win a self-gold - after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.
I don't really think about the degree of difficulty or the possibility of making a mistake. I just try to relax and let my preparation and training take over.
It was a very long and hard decision. My dad kept telling me, 'You can always go to college, but you can't always go pro.' That made sense to me.
One of my proudest moments was probably 2013 Worlds because I proved to myself that I could do things that I didn't think I could.
The support down here in Rio has been amazing - between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg's, I've felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.
I tune it all out because if I let other people's stress get to me, then I stress myself out more than I need to.
I just keep surprising myself, I guess.
I am like any typical teenager.
I think we have other things to worry about than some Zika virus.
I feel like it's harder because everyone knows I'm the three-time world champion - it's almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen.
