“This is the right time. I feel like in 2012 I was really passionate about making that Olympic team and giving it my all. I didn’t have that same feeling this year. I didn’t have the same desire. I wanted to concentrate on getting ready for college.” ~Kyla Ross (on her decision to retire from elite gymnastics)
“I love to have the old timers coming back. They have more maturity and they have the younger generation to go in the same direction as we do for about 15 years.” ~Martha Karolyi
"I dreamed about going to the Olympics, but never really knew what it would be like. But the Olympics were amazing, I had so much fun with my teammates, I had a fabulous time." ~Gabby Douglas
