Sports have always been a huge part of my life. Desperate for a way to channel my energy, my parents enrolled me in gymnastics when I was young. Fearless, I literally threw myself into the sport, dazzled by Olga Korbut , Nellie Kim and the perfection of Nadia Comaneci , and trying to replicate what I saw many Saturday afternoons on the Wild World of Sports.
