On competing at 24:
“I’m not a little girl anymore. It’s definitely up to me. Nobody’s forcing me. Whenever you’re younger, you feel like it’s a job, and you have to be pushed. But now it’s like, This is what I want to do, so that’s why I’m here.”
On criticizing USA Gymnastics and continuing to compete for the organization:
“I’m still here, so it’s not going to disappear—we have power behind it. Probably by compartmentalizing. I try not to think about it because I can’t afford to—if I let them rule me, then they’re winning. I know I’m doing it for me. I do it because I still have such a passion for it.”
It takes a lot of bravery to do what Simone has done. We should definitely applaud her for her courage, both in speaking out and continuing to compete and excel!
