00:00Thank you guys so much and most of all, I just want to thank the fans ever since Rio
00:05It has been an amazing year and the best part of all has been meeting all of the young people
00:11Who look up to all the athletes in this room?
00:13It is an incredible honor and responsibility of being a role model
00:17And I just want to thank you all for believing in me. It means the world to me. So thank
00:22you
00:23Even when I was younger, it was never about winning for me
00:25It was always but like as long as I had fun with what I'm doing because
00:29Say you could win all these competitions, but if you're not having fun, why are you doing it?
00:33I think it's important for kids to know that you don't have to grow up in certain
00:39Environments to make something good out of it like I was born
00:43I was in a foster home and now I'm like an Olympic gymnast
00:46So I feel like no story is perfect
00:49So I think that's important for them to know you can just really make anything out of whatever you have
00:53life is fun and
00:57And you should build memories and I build memories by laughing
01:01Do you think for like one second I can maybe put that around my neck?
