In 2008 I didn't take it all in enough. I was so wrapped up in just the competition that I missed what was going on around me.

I want to really live and breathe the USA. Shawn Johnson

It is not up to me whether I win or lose. Ultimately, this might not be my day. And it is that philosophy towards sports, something that I really truly live by. I am emotional. I want to win. I am hungry. I am a competitor. I have that fire. But deep down, I truly enjoy the art of competing so much more than the result. Apolo Ohno
