i teared up when she was talking about hilary. you could tell they were great friends. i too loved that moment, hilary let out a huge scream. i was also in the bldg and was screaming my head off and waving the american flag after her floor routine in the aa.

I love this interview! I actually remember all of that unfolding in the tv coverage, and it's so neat to hear everything from her perspective. She was really a trailblazer for USA gymnastics. great interview!
