All these events happened many, many years ago, and he is not the same person today. He has renounced these activities.

There were fewer events today than yesterday, but in general, the same things are happening at the same places.

I want to hear Jacques Chirac today. Where is the president when such serious events are taking place?

We were strong on all four events today. It's really exciting to be moving onto finals. Anybody in our session was capable of winning it or placing sixth. Halfway through the meet, it was very, very tight.

We had three strong events today. We looked good on vault, bars and beam. On floor, the training caught up to us. Our legs weren't there. I am extremely proud of the way we competed out of the blocks to start the season. We still have a long way to go. We watered down some routines as far as difficulty and skill.

My legs were really tight today, so I didn't run all my events. I saw what I can improve, and I need to work on my start in the 60.
