Defintely gymnastics, because I was a gymnast for 11 years. That's my thing. My girlfriend Betty Okino was in the 1992 Olympics and won a bronze medal. She's a gymnast. So I'm a huge fan.

Erika is a huge role model for me and an inspiration. I'm growing into myself and a much stronger gymnast and maybe one day, people will aspire to be like me.
Its a little detrimental to the average gymnast. There are going to be a lot lower scores for the average gymnast, but it will separate ones with the requirements and show their talent a little more.
I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles.
An Olympic gymnast may have started instruction as a preschooler, but there are other sports, such as shooting, where a 17-year-old young woman recently became a champion after just two years of competition. It turned out she was a natural.
People only know me as being a gymnast. It's kind of scary.

People are always asking why she doesn't do more, but she struggles to do what she is doing now. It's commendable for her. Her passion to be a college gymnast far exceeds her fears.
We want to give her every opportunity to be a career gymnast.
Since she was a college gymnast and because she's been through college gymnastics, she knows a lot about what's going on up there, what's going through your head. She knows what kind of things will better prepare us for meets.... She definitely knows what buttons to push.

"Peniel" Hills beyond,

Found he had worsted God!
The thing I like the best about this group is how focused everybody is and how hard each gymnast is working so early in preparing for the season. They are not afraid to tell each other that the effort needs to be picked up at times, because this group has the mentality that it is not about everybody not about individuals. They are very excited about learning and listening to each other and the coaches.
The administration knows how to respond to political pressure with the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast. You've seen it on a number of things - No Child Left Behind, prescription drugs, homeland security.
