McKayla Maroney Reveals Details On Her 'Horrible' Dream

In an interview with Teen Vogue, Maroney revealed that when it comes to being a gymnast, there is a lot of competition on who has the best look.

"In gymnastics, everything is a competition," she said. "You want to have your hair look the best and your makeup look the best. You want to be the best, and you want to have the prettiest leotard. For Team USA, we want to have the best leotards that we can, and we always come up with something very cool."

Maroney describes her style as "edgy" and "casual" with several types of attire.

"I really like crop tops," she said. "I like how you can dress them up or down, with jeans or a skirt and heels. I like to be showy and cute. I don't want to be in just a jacket and pants and boots."
