The coaches pushed us to our limits. Passing out or throwing up was common and if we didn't push ourselves, we were viewed as people who gave up easily. I suppose that is why I was so affected by my inability to master that front hip circle.
教练把我们逼到了极限。晕倒或呕吐是很常见的。如果我们不逼自己一把的话，就会被视为轻言放弃。我深受无法掌握“向前腹回环”动作的影响，我觉得原因就在于此。
The day before the competition, my coaches and I planned slight changes in my routine that eliminated the front hip circle. We all knew that this would dock me major points, but it was our only choice. I had given up for the first time in my life.
比赛前一天，我和我的教练计划对我的动作做出一些小改变，取消“向前腹回环”。我们都知道这会扣掉我许多分数，但这是我们唯一的选择。这是我人生中第一次放弃。
The next day, I was a nervous wreck. This competition was crucial. Winning the Arizona State Competition would put us above our closest rival. As I did my floor and vault routines, my mind was preoccupied with the high bar. It was not until I mounted the balance beam that I came to realize that I was a powerful being who controlled my future. This gave me great strength as I finished my balance beam routine with a score of 9.3.
第二天，我十分紧张。这场比赛至关重要。在亚利桑那州级比赛中取胜能使我们超越我们最强劲的对手。当我完成自由体操和跳马后，我的脑子里一直想着高杠。直到登上平衡木，我才意识到自己是可以掌控自己未来的强大的人。我的平衡木分数达到了9.3分，这给了我极大的力量。
I moved to my high bar routine and for whatever reason, I suddenly felt as if I could accomplish anything. I could do the front hip circle. I just knew I could. I plunged forward with all my might and thrust my body over the top of the bar. Time stopped as I felt my body make a full rotation around the bar. But this time I didn't fall off as I rounded the last turn. No.
我开始做高杠动作。不知什么原因，我突然感觉自己好像可以完成任何事情。我可以完成“向前腹回环”，我知道我可以做到的。我用尽全力向前移动，将身体推向高杠顶端。我感觉到自己的身体绕杠旋转了一圈，时间仿佛停止了。但这次绕最后一圈时，我没有跌落下来，没有。
