In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot. ↗

To represent your country at a home Olympics is something special and I'm over the moon to be selected for Team GB. I was pleased to get the qualifying time in Berlin earlier this year and my sole focus is getting in the right shape for London. ↗

Gymnastics is my whole life, and I dream of going to the Olympics and being a world champ. ↗

Especially in the car ride to and from gym. I find myself spacing out a lot, just visualizing what the Olympics would be like and just having such great role models. ↗

I've never been cocky. Even right now I don't like to talk about the Olympics. ↗

It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you can't ask for much more. ↗

It's been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself. ↗

Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold. ↗

People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating. ↗

To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world. ↗
