(NEXSTAR) - Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman is attending her first Winter Olympics to support competitors, but during an informal interview in Milan, she offered some perspective on managing the pressure of the games. Raisman, a six-time medalist herself, fully comprehends the pressure of the games. "Competing at the Olympics is an immense amount of pressure," Raisman said. She emphasized that competitors should maintain a sense of self-worth regardless of their performance in the arena. "I just hope they remember that their worth is not defined by their result," she said. To manage the stress of high expectations, Raisman suggested that athletes look back at their early beginnings in sports. "So if they think about themselves as a young kid, hopefully it will help them reflect and think their younger self would be freaking out that they've made it this far and they're here," Raisman said. She added that she hopes athletes take a moment to be proud of their hard work and the achievement of reaching the games. Raisman has also been in contact with fellow gymnast Simone Biles during the games. She said she has been texting Biles and intends to meet with her during her stay. Raisman's schedule also includes attending women's hockey and the pairs figure skating final. She noted a particular interest in figure skating because she finds it similar to gymnastics and described the sport as magical.
