McKayla Maroney may only be 16 years old, but she’s already one of the greatest gymnasts in the world. At the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, Maroney won the gold medal for individual vault, and her impressive floor performance helped the U.S. team also bring back the gold. Since then, Maroney has been a force to be reckoned with, and now she has her sights set on this summer’s Olympic Games in London, where she’s competing with teammates Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross. “For some of my goals I know that I really want to get the gold medal for vault, because I’ve been working so hard for that, I definitely want to have that gold medal,” Maroney tells Uinterview in an exclusive interview.
