Fabian Hambuechen (GER) ------- Bronze medalist

About today's performance:

"It was very harsh to finish the routine without any warming up. I also had to wait for 5 or 6 minutes to begin my competition. I am happy with the result. The score is very good. Today's competition is very close. Everyone can be the champion. The Japanese gymnast was

really good. He was the real champion. "

About Okiguchi Makoto and Brando O'Neill's performance:

"They really did well tonight and I was happy to win the bronze medal. Brandon and I did some small mistakes but the Japanese gymnast did all his routine perfectly. Although they two got the same scores, since Okiguchi had a lower A score but a higher B Score, he

finally got to be the champion."

About advice for Chinese gymnasts:

"Although today there are no Chinese competitors in the floor exercise, next year it will be totally different. The Chinese team is great. I don't have any advice for them."

About his relationship with other competitors:

"We are familiar with each other. We are friends. I enjoy the time we spend together."

About his schedule:

"Yesterday we visited the Great Wall for 2 or 3 hours. It was really nice. I spent the afternoon training. Tomorrow I will continue my training."

About his relationship with his girlfriend:

"I don't have any plan for getting married soon. But after the 2008 Olympics, we will move into the same apartment. She understands me; she knows it's hard to be a gymnast. She is nice and I love her and hope we can go together until the end of our lives."

Brandon O'Neill (CAN) -------Silver medalist

About his performance:

"I am most satisfied with it. If I had been more careful and avoided the small mistake, I could have gotten the gold medal. Yet I'm happy with my performance today. "

About the effect of the performing order:

"It isn't important to me. Some people just like perform early and some don't. I will watch every single performance of the others and get prepared."

About Fabian Hambuechen:

"He patted my shoulder after my performance and I give him one back during the victory ceremony. We are good friends and at same time good competitors. He is superstar in the field of gymnastics. And I will have serious competition with him next year."

About the goal for next year's Olympics:

"Of course I want to win the gold medal, especially for the floor. I will learn some new tricks just like the Japanese. Hopefully I can get medals in the parallel bars and vault."

About the tie:

"The Japanese did a very good job. He deserves it. If I did better I probably would have made even 16 points. However, I am happy to be second."

About his preparation for the Olympics next year:

"I will train as hard as I can to get well prepared and get the gold medal."

Okiguchi Makoto (JPN) -------Gold medalist

About his performance:

"I am very happy with it and feel good, as this competition is related to the one next year. I hope I can perform in the Olympics next year as perfectly as today. But I'm sure there will be more excellent gymnasts. So it can be harder to get the gold medal."

About his injury:

"My feet have injured. So when I landed, they hurt a lot. So I gave up some difficult elements that I had planned to do."

About his expectation on vault:

"It is more difficult for me to get a medal on vault. But I will try my best."
