"I am pleased with the progress we made today. We continue to build our line-ups and that is showing in the results. I am very proud of the vault line-up for increasing the difficulty of our vaults this week and it really showed in the score today. This continues to be a team effort and I can see everyone on the competition floor working together, encouraging one another and helping our team become more competitive.
