all welcome!

If you like falling, then gymnastics is the sport for you. You get to fall on your face, your ass, your back, your knees, and your pride! Good thing I didn't like falling. I loved it.

"Thanks to everyone who added a bit of bronze to this medal. I can't stop thinking about Sabrina and Jordan at this moment. It's a tough situation for us with so much uncertainty and overwhelming emotions. I hope everyone understands that we did nothing wrong at the Olympics. And that the Olympic spirit is more important than any misunderstanding between the authorities. I want to believe that the day will come when all three of us will receive a bronze medal."
