I actually didn't think my floor routine was that good. It was pretty shaky to me but some other guys made some mistakes. I stuck most of my passes, a small step on my dismount. On rings, my strength was hard. I was breathing hard through the whole thing and I lost my lower back muscles it felt like during my handstands. I was able to stick my dismount and I came out with two first-place finishes. |
I am happy to have won it, knowing that it was a tough year. Last year, I knew all but one (word). This year, there were two words I didn't know. |
It feels amazing. The reason we won is because our team has more heart than anyone. We train hard. |
This meet isn't big because of the number of athletes they bring in, it's prestigious because of who they bring in. |
Unbelievable. Bart Conner is one of the most decorated male gymnasts to ever compete. To put me in a category with him, it feels amazing. |
When you make a mistake, it fuels your fury and I couldn't have felt more powerful heading into the still rings. |
