*You see how hard she trains, what she had to do, what she had to go through so you know what it takes to be the Olympic Champion*
Nastia about Carly Patterson
It's not just a sport ...
I ♥ GYMNASTICS
♥ its being able to do things most people can only dream of doing
♥ its being with your team more than anyone else
♥ its being able to remember every routine you've ever done
♥ its never having any time to do anything else
♥ its ripped and blistered hands and feet
♥ its always being sore... but never contemplating a night off
♥ its not being able to understand how some people can't touch their toes
♥ its using chalk more than soap
♥ its never using the words "can't" or "impossible"
♥ its owning more leos and warm ups than actual clothes
♥ its knowing you work ten times harder than any other sport
♥ its that shaky, weak feeling you get after finally sticking that one landing
It's not just a sport ...
*IT'S A WAY OF LIFE*
