Tyesha Mattis: "It really feels good. I’ve worked really hard for this so I’m happy that I’ve made it. The team silver really gave me confidence and after yesterday’s result I knew I was capable of doing it."
Ellie Downie: "My competition went really well. I’m just a little dissapointed that I’ve missed out on a medal but I'm quite confident for tomorrow’s finals and hopefully will finish amongst the top three on uneven bars. I’m really happy to have scored a personal best on Wednesday and then to have done it again today and I'm really happy for Tyesha taking the bronze."
