Quote of the day......“I did it. I got there, but not without a price.....

Maroney was one of the “Fierce Five” 

that won gold at the 2012 London Olympics; 

she also won silver..... 

in the individual vault event. 

In her letter, Maroney spoke of how 

the Olympics had been her dream 

since she was a child, 

watching the 2004 Games as an 8-year-old.

“From the outside looking in,

 it’s an amazing story,” Maroney wrote. 

“I did it. I got there, 

but not without a price.

[On October 18, 2017, Maroney alleged that 

USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar 

repeatedly molested her, starting when 

she was 13 years old until her retirement 

from the sport in 2016.]
