She says what she is feeling, and I'd rather see that than listen to her speak something from a memorized index card. Even when she does fall, she has nothing to be ashamed of. She's not over focused on saying how confident she is. She must be SO TIRED of the media asking her about her confidence. If they'd stop asking, she'd stop talking about it. The girl believes in herself as she should. She's an Olympian with some of the highest difficulty out there!
