About gold medalist Olena Movchan's performance:

Huang Shanshan (CHN)
About her performance:
"I think I did pretty well for the first five skills. For the sixth, I intended to do better; however, I made a mistake. But I think my performance was OK. And I didn't expect it to turn out like that."
About her big mistake:
"It was a terrible mistake that should not have happened. I am sure that I won't happen again, especially in the 2008 Olympic Games. It was not because I was tired, but for the reason that I did well in the beginning and I wanted to make my performance perfect at the end and make my every movement excellent. As a result I neglected some details, making the speed not good, and then the mistake happened."
About another reason for her mistake:
"I am very excited today and the audiences were so enthusiastic that I neglected my movements somehow."
About her injury:
"I am fine. I did not hurt much."
About her training:
"In the winter training coming next, I will increase my difficulty part. At present, the Chinese team members' difficulty part is lower than many foreign athletes'. We will work on it. For myself, my energy is not satisfactory, and my energy coach will help me with it."
About the trampoline bed:
"It is OK. There is no problem with it."
About so many strong trampolinists' mistakes:
"Accidents often happen, no one can anticipate; that is trampoline. However, if I do my training well and be more stable in competition, the accident can be prevented."
