But I just wish it would have been contributing the way that it was supposed to happen.
And that's what I was doing. That's what I was putting myself through in the back. And that's why... I don't know how I made it that far through warmups, through competing. I don't know how I landed on my feet. And I think that's what people don't realize is like, that's not the vault that I was supposed to compete. I had a whole nother full twist that I was supposed to compete.

So they're like, she didn't want to lose. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not like, my pride is not that big. Like, You know what I'm saying? So at that point, it's like, you know what? I need to take care of myself and I need to do what's right for my team. And yeah, I need to let my pride not get in the way and push through this just to compete, to compete at the Olympics again.

I need to go sit down, take a rest, see what's wrong mentally, and let's figure it out. But let's still give my team a chance of medal contention. Because again, what people also don't realize is if I got hurt on that vault, they couldn't replace me. So if I got hurt Since I'm on every event, it's two up, two count. We would have never won a medal.
