Carmen Whelan, 32nd overall:
 
“This weekend I was happy with three of my four performances. My goal was to reduce my mistakes and improve on my execution of difficulties since the World Cup in Minsk last weekend, and I feel like I was able to do that. Unfortunately, my ribbon routine didn’t go as planned but mistakes are a part of competing. This experience has helped me remember that mental preparation is just as important as the physical aspects.”
 
Katherine Uchida, 36th overall: 
 
“This wasn’t my strongest performance. I made more mistakes than I have previously, however, every time I compete, I learn something new. Some parts of this competition were stronger than last week in Minsk, but I felt I was also lacking in other areas in my performance. Consistency is key with this code of points so showing consistent routines is ultimately the best thing I can do as a developing athlete. I know what my weaknesses from these competitions have been and what I need to improve upon.”
 
Group, 11th overall:
 
“On the first day, we felt a little more nervous than usual, perhaps it was the gym that was a little more intimidating. We didn’t perform as well as the previous competition, but we feel confidant that we will perform as best we can at upcoming competitions. Our ropes and balls routine was a little messy, but we didn’t make any major mistakes. We know what we have to do to get better and will continue to work towards that achievement.”
