My mom decided that she wanted to put the mirror ball trophy on the coffee table in the center of our living room. When people walk in, it's kind of like, 'Uh.' It's a little weird. Maybe we should put it in the corner or something.

I never look at scores or anything.

When I perform and the crowd is cheering, there's a ringing noise in my head. I'm just zoned in, and even though I know there are people watching me, all I hear is this ringing inside of me.

Having the opportunity to go to the U.S. Olympics was great because I was the first Latina in over 30 years to compete in gymnastics at the Olympics.

On Sundays, I just love to go to church and then relax the whole day!

My greatest inspiration is my coach, Maggie Haney.

People would be surprised to know I had a flip phone until 2015.

My athlete idol is Usain Bolt. He's inhumanly fast!

I like history because you can't really progress without knowing what comes before you, so I think it's super fascinating.

Being able to wear contacts, you don't have to worry about your glasses falling off or how you look during your beam routine. As soon as they're in, literally two minutes later, you forget that they're on.

Every year, my mom makes sure I have my checkups and everything, which is probably a really good idea. She's great with all that health stuff.

I'm glad to be partnered with Orgullosa because I feel that now that I'm able to win a gold medal at the Olympics, win a silver medal, I feel little girls will be able to look up to me, and Hispanics will kind of rise a little more.

I think a big part of what has helped me move forward with the sport is my family. We're all so close together, and the support system has been amazing.

Everyone keeps asking me when I have time to rest. I'll tell you when: I get all my sleep on planes. If the flight is five hours, my nap is five hours! I'll sleep through the whole flight.

It's really hard to be all serious in the tango and not break into laughter.

Dancing is different than gymnastics, but it's a good different, and it's something that I've always wanted to try.

People have always asked me why my favorite event was floor, and my answer was always, 'Because I love to dance!'

Even though I'm a gymnast, I've always loved dancing.

Dancing is so much fun.

My first week at 'DWTS' was amazing! I definitely fangirled when I walked into the ballroom because I looked at all the judges and where they were sitting, and I was like, 'Wow, that's the official judges' table!'

Meeting kids who feel inspired by my story, it means so much to me.

I knew when I started gymnastics, I wanted to have a lot of fun and eventually go to the Olympics. On the moments where I felt really down, I just remembered, 'You're almost there. Just keep going. Keep working hard.'

I definitely take it as a really big responsibility on my shoulders to make sure I'm motivating my generation and the people around me and, hopefully, inspire people to try something new.

The Olympics was really, really stressful because I had never done anything like it. At the same time, I was understanding something like that could never really happen again. I embraced it and took in everything.
