About the team final:
"I'm really happy because this is what has motivated me in the last year to come to the gym every day and train. Not only me but the whole team as well. We came here exactly for this medal, we got it and we're extremely happy."
If he knew that Russia and China were very close before his HB routine:
"I wasn't looking at the score, wasn't looking at the screen. My task was to go out and do my best routine. I got a really good score. I think I've given it my 300%."
If he knew he got more than a point higher today than his all-around score in the qualifications:
"I didn't know. It's great. We'll rest and I hope that I'll get an even higher score the day after tomorrow. I don't think about scores, I think about the work I have to go out and do."
Whether this medal serves as motivation for the rest of the finals:
"Before this medal, there was nothing in my head. I could't say anything about the all-around, about the finals. The main goal was the team final. We came just for this medal. Now I'll come to my room, get some rest, and will think about the final and the other competition days."
How happy he was with the women's team winning silver:
"A bit more than the rest of the boys because my wife is there."
