BREAK FROM SPORT
After the 2012 Olympic Games in London she took a year off from competitive sport, going on vacation to Hawaii and not training for some months. She returned to the sport with the ambition of making the 2014 Commonwealth Games team. "It's different this time around, because I have made it to where I want to be and I know what it is about. So now I am just doing it for me. I know what I need to do. And also I am just having fun with it, doing new skills and stuff, I love it." (thecouchgymnast.com, 07 May 2014)
