Aly Raisman in the ESPN Magazine Body Issue
"As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain. You're often standing in front of the mirror right before competition thinking, 'God, I hope I don't look fat in this.'" ~Alicia Sacramone
"It’s a huge honor and a cool opportunity. I wanted to show that you don’t need to be 13 or 14 years old to be a gymnast. You can be older and still have good results.
When I first got the offer I was a little nervous. But then I thought, “You’ve worn a leotard in front of a billion people; this isn’t that different.” Plus, I work out really hard and I’m proud of my body." ~Alicia Sacramone
