I am very pleased with my performance today, I don't know what the judges didn't like about my bars, but I didn't ask them ... I did my routine fairly well without serious error.
On beam I didn't have the start value but I received the highest execution score. We will try to fix that before the World Championships.
Considering the problems I had with my ankle, I think I performed to the optimum at the moment. I did everything I could.
I'm not the least bit sorry that I performed here - Very glad that I could help the team. I think my presence made things easier for the girls. It is very difficult to compete at such serious senior competitions for the first time. Of course they were very worried. But I'm sure that with time they will learn to cope easily with their nerves (smiles).
