And from that nineteen sixty four, this was my goal to go to Olympic Games. And I realized what does it mean, Olympic Games, like big celebration.

But let me do I will show the world what gymnastics looks like. Well may be this is a future gymnastics.

How many people in the world is, each of them is individual. And I like to eat bread, somebody don't like that. You know this is the same in gymnastics.

Ah well... wand still in your jeans? Both buttocks still on? Okay, let’s go.

You know you're a success when you look at your kids and realize they turned out better than you.

Once that Gauntlet is on, as the poster of Doctor Strange says, "the impossibilities are endless."

He that obstinately denieth the truth before men upon earth, wilfully refuseth his soul's health in heaven.
