“I did not expect anything. I put too much of myself into the team competition and there was no stamina left in me for my own thing in the women’s individual final.”
On failing to make it to a podium place:
“I simply could not make it. Maybe luck was against me today.”
On her floor routine:
“I had a fall on the floor exercise and I knew that was it for me.”
On the competition:
“I have to give them credit, they were good and I was not at my best today.””
CONGRATULATIONS Aliya; you won 4th place in the World. It may feel bad today, but we support you and there will always be a tomorrow.
UPDATE :
Mustafina unwell, had temperature. 'this morning I woke up, felt really bad ... On floor, I do not remember how I performed'. She says she hopes to retrieve something over the next two days.

Valentina has now spoken ... It is the air con at the hotel. Apparently the girls are chilled (Google translate :-) )
She says Aliya can't be blamed, she competed with a temperature ... She said lots more nice things about Aliya, and spoke of Sosnitskaya and the younger girls' inexperience. They have to look at the team's training and see what they need to change.
