Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!
For me going down in history being the first black American to win the gold, I think more colored people are going to start coming to the gymnastics world and say ‘okay, anything is possible. If Gabby did it, then I can do it too.’
You know, God has a plan for me, and I’m going to follow in his footsteps and just rejoice and be happy.
Always be courageous and strong, and don’t fear.
You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous!
Sacrifices are not in vain. At the end, everything will pay off.
You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.
If you push through the hard days you can get through anything.
I accomplished something big and that’s a memory I will never forget.
If we set our minds to it, we can achieve anything.
I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.
The one snack I really love is YoCrunch yogurt. It’s like an apple pie in a cup! You have your apples on the bottom, your yogurt in the middle, and piecrust crumbs on top.
I’ve learned how to stay humble. I don’t want to get in over my head because when you do that it takes you off your game.
I wear makeup pretty much every day. For training, I usually do a lighter base, a lighter blush and I used the mascara and a little bit of the lip gloss.
I just want to inspire all those people who gave up and said ‘I quit,’ Never give up!
Believe, don’t fear, believe.
Everyone was telling me you have this great potential and you can be on top. I didn’t believe that, but everyone was just telling me to believe in myself. I did and I’m kind of up on top and it’s amazing.
The most important thing is to believe in yourself and know that you can do it.
It’s kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.
