We had a great time on the floor, though we had a few bobbles. We were so relaxed. By that read more
We had a great time on the floor, though we had a few bobbles. We were so relaxed. By that time, we knew we had it won.
Kim couldn't have done that routine better. She had a great week at practice and came in very confident.

I think they both are strong contenders especially with what they did this weekend.
