On August 5, the Romanian Sandra Rostash was the Olympic champion in this discipline of sports gymnastics, who, according to the results of two attempts, received an average rating of 15.191 points. Meroni (15.083) won silver, apiary (15.050) took third place .

“I expected that I would be in the three because I tried. At first, even despite the fall of Mononi, I thought that I was honest honestly. But then, when I reviewed the video, I thought that I should have been the second. But all the judges decided, I couldn’t decide anything. I just woned with the fall, I was not even in prize -winners,” said the apiary while the athlete was honored in the Bosco Club.

In addition to individual bronze, the apiary won a silver medal in the final of the command all -around.

“I think that in the final my jump could be done better. It was still better to perform on free exercises - Nastya Grishina and Ksyusha Afanasyev were mistaken. Well, that’s all, it seems, we didn’t go to these two shells very successfully. If not for these mistakes, I think we could go out in the first place,” Anna Kleshcheva, an employee’s daughter .

The gymnast added that according to the team’s calculations, subject to the ideal performance in the team finale, they would only lag behind the Americans only by the point. “It is still unknown what would happen and how they would have performed if we were not mistaken,” she said.

“Yes, maybe it’s a shame that we are not the first, but it seems to me that the silver at the Olympics is a lot about. Although I want gold, I want to always be the first. So, we need to be finalized in order to stand in the first place, because nothing is given nothing,” the Russian gymnast emphasized.
