I'll have to say winning the Olympic gold in Atlanta is a crowning achievement, along with the gold in the relay in the same games.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.

I'm not a celebrity. I'm just the same Simone. I just have two Olympic Gold medals now.

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'

I wouldn't say that there's ever been an Olympic champion that didn't deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

Standing on the podium at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and receiving a gold medal was the crowning jewel in a successful gymnastics career and, most certainly, the confirmation that my parents' sacrifices were not in vain.
