00:12And every time you flip and defy gravity, it makes you feel like a kid again.
00:18Going to Special Olympics, USA Games, is one thing I never thought I would be able to do.

00:27This is my second time around and I'm hoping to come home with another goal.
00:32But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.

01:27Nobody's perfect. It's falling and getting back up and she will make the podium. I know it.
01:35What these athletes showcase is true love for gymnastics. It's what sport should be.
01:42You get lucky sometimes to grab onto the coattail of an athlete that helps you grow.
