Before competition, I always take an ice bath to make my body feel more refreshed. Then I always have coffee with a little cream and sugar. It's a superstitious thing. McKayla Maroney bathbodycoffee Change image and share on social
I didn't want people to think of me as someone who wasn't impressed with a silver medal, because obviously that's a huge accomplishment, and I was so happy. It was more about me just being not impressed with falling at the Olympics in my last event. McKayla Maroney accomplishmenteventfall share on social
Every single day, I get asked by people to do 'the face,' so I'm bringing it along with me now for the rest of my life. McKayla Maroney askbringday Change image and share on social

There's a lot of stress out there, and to handle it, you just need to believe in yourself; always go back to the person that you know you are, and don't let anybody tell you any different, because everyone's special and everyone's awesome. McKayla Maroney awesomebackhandle share on social
I wasn't expecting two seconds of me on the medal stand to go viral after the Olympics. I came back to my room after the medal ceremony, and my dad said this picture of me doing a face I don't even remember making is blowing up. McKayla Maroney backblowceremony share on social
I just know that all my fans who are with me and going along for the ride, that's what means the most to me. McKayla Maroney fanmeanride Change image and share on social
The thing with gymnastics is people don't always know the events. So they'll ask me about the rings, and I'll have to say, 'Women don't do that.' Or they'll use the wrong words, like horse instead of vault. They get confused. McKayla Maroney confuseeventgymnastic share on social
I really like Rihanna. And I actually do like Justin Bieber. I like the Weeknd. I like Katy Perry. McKayla Maroney bieberjustinkaty Change image and share on social
You never really think about what happens after the Olympics - you're just like, 'I want to compete. I want to do well' and thinking about that. After it all happened, it was such a whirlwind. I've gotten to do so many amazing things. My favorite thing was getting into acting. McKayla Maroney actamazecompete share on social
