Doctor SUNY vaulted. I knew exactly what was going through
her head.
I dealt with that in Tokyo.
So I just knew that she needed some encouragement and
somebody to trust her gymnastics for her and to believe
in her.
So that's exactly what I did.
I went back there and I went to talk to
her and I was like,
did you get lost or did you just decide to
do a 1 1/2?
So we kind of discussed that and I was like,
you know what, don't overthink your gymnastics.
You're fine. If you want me to stand over there
for bars,
she was like, can you please stand over there for
bars?
So that's why I went over there for bars as
well,
because I've been in her shoes.
I've done that exact thing and I know how.
Traumatizing it is, especially on a big stage like this.
And I didn't want her to get in her head.
So we just went and talked about it while she
was in the back.
And then when she came out,
I went to support her.
Yeah. I mean, I think she knew that I needed
help in the moment.
She or anyone understands basically what I did on vault.
So she just came over to see if I was
OK and basically just helped boost me up and get
my confidence back up because at that point I was
kind of like thinking that this was over.
So it was really nice having her in my corner
and she's just been so supported and to have her
on bars.
To giving me advice was it just felt so good
because.
I know I was having a hard time and she
was just there to help lift me up so I'm
super grateful for her.
