The Rio Olympics are coming up, but you won’t see gymnast Jordyn Wieber there.

Wieber, who helped Team USA win the gold medal in 2012, chose to continue managing the UCLA gymnastics team instead of pursuing another shot at Olympic gold.

She tells the Detroit Free Press about her decision and what it was about UCLA that stole her heart.
