Lauren Mitchell (AUS) -Silver Medalist

About her feelings:

"I'm really happy and proud. We did well. I didn't see Daria's wobble because I was warming up, so it didn't influence me much. There is no secret of success. Just go to the gym every day and train hard everyday and the outcome just happen."

About comments on Cheng Fei:

"She is a great gymnast."

About her difficulty:

"Before the Olympics I'll just keep this difficulty and keep practicing. But after the Olympics I'll definitely improve it."

About her planning:

"Tomorrow we'll go home and ten girls from Australia will go to a camp for about ten days. Then we will go on training for another championship in January."

Daria Joura (AUS) - Fifth

About her feelings:

"I'm glad because the competition is finally over. I'm so tired, it's a long process. I tried not to think of the tiredness, and the mind really works."

About comments on Cheng Fei:

"She is one of my favorite gymnasts. She is a great gymnast and a great person."

About her teammate Lauren Mitchell:

"She did well, although it wasn't her best routine. Everyone waits for their time. She works hard enough to win the medal."

About her wobble on the beam:

"Six months ago, I might think 'Oh, my God!' but I have been working on that. So I just pretend it didn't happen and keep on doing my routine."

About the future:

"I'll compete to gain more experiences, to try what works and what not. The training may not be harder but will be smarter."

About her distinguished style:

"This style is quite personal and it helps me a lot. My personality can show through it."

Mukumoto Keiko (JPN)

About her performance:

"I did pretty well for the first half, but suddenly I became so nervous that I did a mistake later. I was uneasy at that time. I can't quite accept this result. I regret it a lot."

About her difficulty part:

"Although my difficulty part has increased, I have never completed my movements perfectly."

Bridget Sloan (USA)

About her performance today:

"I feel quiet satisfied with my performance today. It's good."

About her comment on Cheng Fei:

"Her difficulty is quiet high so she definitely should have higher score and she deserves it. We both made mistakes and we both corrected them."

About her strong points:

"My floor exercise and balance beam are strong but I don't see my uneven bar as weak. I just train hard on bars and improved a lot last year and added difficulty and put more stuff in it."

About the comparison between American team and Chinese team:

"We are competitors in a good way. I mean, we both push each other. But we are not really like big competitors. We are nice to each other and push each other to become better and better."

About her expectation for the 2008 Olympic Games:

"If I participate in the 2008 Olympic Games, I think I will take part in the all-around."

About her secrets of success this time:

"I just calm down and try to be confident."

About her plan after the competition:

"I will go to Japan tomorrow to take part in Tokyo Cup. Then I will keep training hard."

About her free time:

"I usually relax, such as shopping and hanging out with friends, just teenage stuff."

About her feeling about China:

"This is my first time to China and this is an amazing place. It's fantastic here because you can feel the crowds. We always like big and cheering crowds. China is really a great place."
