"We’re just going to go and do our routines and lay the cards where they fall. I’ve always just tried to take any competition one event at a time, especially as I’ve gotten older. But then I just look in the crowd and I see all those people and I go, ‘Oh my god, it’s just gymnastics!’” he added.
His teammate Richard earlier told People, “My biggest goal is by the end of this Olympics, number one, I guess everybody starts to know who I am and realize, okay, this kid is the future of gymnastics and for the next coming Olympics he’s going to be something big.”
The 20-year-old added, “It’s kind of like my, ‘Hello, world.’ I got that from Tiger Woods. It’s kind of just telling the world that you are going to be something special.”
