I've never cried in my life, ... This moment was coming, and it's kind of tough.

Walking off the podium in 2004 with my team was enough.

I definitely take pride in the fact I was tough.

There's no getting around it – I'm getting old,

You know what, walking off the podium in 2004 with my team was enough. It's been a long career, and that was the best way to do it.

I'm officially retiring from gymnastics ... and it's kind of difficult. I think it's time. I want to stay at the top of the game, but if I don't have it, I'm not going to do it.
