Laurie Hernandez‘s book, “I Got This: To Gold and Beyond,” is out Tuesday, and the Olympic champion gymnast stopped by TODAY on Monday to discuss its contents and life post-Rio.
An excerpt on Hernandez’ experience in Rio and the story of her floor-exercise wink to judges, is here.
On TODAY, Hernandez discussed another interesting anecdote from the book about tissues.
“Before Olympic Trials, we went out to eat, and I had a little breakdown because practice was really rough, and my routines weren’t coming the way I wanted them to,” she said.
