Douglas said, "It was an amazing bar finals with so many great competitors. Coming into bar finals was a big challenge for me and I made a little mistake. Even if I would have hit a solid routine, I know I have a lower start value then the other competitors. I'm going to go into beam finals tomorrow and try really hard to end on a good note."
In men's vault finals, Mikulak was up sixth. He performed his double twisting Kasamatsu and scored a 16.100. On his second vault, a handspring double front, he stuck the landing and scored a 16.000 for a two-vault average of 16.050 to finish fifth.
"I'm happy I went out there today and put two vaults on my feet," said Mikulak. When asked why he kissed the vault after he competed he said, "Vault was so good to me today I tried to give it some love back."
Regarding his second vault, Mikulak said "This was only the third time I've ever competed the handspring double front vault, so to stick it today I was very happy."
