Women's Uneven Bars

On winning gold
"I can't tell you how it feels. It's just amazing, it's a dream that is coming true right now after so many years.

"I've been in the national team since 2009. To now be a European champion for the first time is kind of crazy. I have to realize it first. Now I'm just happy, this is incredible.

"I could cry the whole time. But I try not to (laughs).

"I really don't have words for it right now. I think I have to sleep on it to then be able to explain my feelings (laughs)."

"I was always wondering how other athletes could stay that focused after winning a gold medal but know I understand that you first need to realize: this really happened, I am a European champion now."

"To win a medal in your home country is so special. As soon as I finished my routine I was completely overwhelmed by the support of the guests, my whole body was shaking because the whole arena was shaking.”

On her routine:
"I am a gymnast, so it's never perfect. You never think it's perfect. This routine also wasn't perfect, but it was quite good.

"The beginning of my routine was a little wobbly actually, but I just thought I need to finish this. It’s only finished when you feel ground under your feet. So I finished it.”

"This routine was quite good. I knew it was good enough to get a medal. But I didn't really know which medal, because I didn't watch all the other girls. I was just so focused on myself, so I just didn't know."

On whether she thought she could win today:
"I knew that I had big chances so I tried to think of what I needed to do before my routine to keep a clear head and mind. I told my coach that I needed to talk, talk, talk. And that’s what I did, I just didn’t stop talking. Also the new rule with the one touch helped me a lot, so everything just came together and now I am European Champion. I just can’t stop saying that again and again, I am European Champion!”

"In the last weeks of training I felt like my routine worked well, but was also kind of exhausting. Then yesterday in the team final I realized that it wasn’t that exhausting anymore so I knew I was ready.”

On where the European title ranks in her career:
"It means everything to me. At home, in front of a home crowd, in front of my family, my friends, my boyfriend. Everyone was here and cheering for me. It was incredible to hit my bar routine here and to win gold."

On what's next for her:
"I will continue with university and sports the way I previously did. If at some point I feel that my body can’t keep up anymore or I don’t feel the passion anymore I want to have the opportunity to start another career after gymnastics.”

"For Paris 2024 I will take it step by step. But to be honest, with this medal around my neck I don’t have any thoughts about quitting right now.”

"Actually after this week the thought of lying in bed and sleeping is super tempting but the bronze medal from yesterday and now this gold medal need to be celebrated today."
On her feelings after finishing fifth in her last competition
"I feel sick, my stomach hurts and it's overwhelming (cries). It's hard to put into words how I feel now, but it was just really great to be able to experience this again today. The crowd was sensational and it was so nice to be in such a bars final again, also together with Elisabeth Seitz. That she (Seitz) has now won gold is of course sensational and we will really celebrate tonight what we have achieved here together as a team. That's why it's very hard to describe my feelings - it's just amazing."

On her feelings after her dismount:
"I was just full of emotions straight away. The head coach told me to concentrate on my exercise and what comes after, let your emotions run free and that's exactly how it was. I didn't think about anything before the exercise either. I tried to block everything out and the moment I landed I knew that I had finished the routine well, even if it wasn't the best (laughs)."

On taking bronze
"This means a lot to me. The last year has been very difficult. I missed the Olympics (she tore her ACL in March 2021). I fought back and with the help of the people around me I could take this medal. This is incredible."

On whether she thought it was possible to medal:
"I finished eighth in qualifications, but I didn't do a really good routine (there). I knew it was possible (in the final). I just wanted to do a really good routine. That's what I did."

On having injured her knee with her dismount:
"I can't tell right now, but I really hope it's OK."
On taking silver on bars after seeing her twin sister Asia getting injured on vault
"When I knew Asia was injured, I didn't even care about the competition anymore. I was just focused on her. But I had to do my routine and I tried to do my best, but it wasn't easy at all.

"When I started, I thought about doing my best and to do it for my family and for Asia, because they deserve this."

"I can't wait to see her (Asia). I didn't even see her before I was competing and for me it is very important to know how she is feeling right now."
