International Assignment: Shayla Worley

During the team and all around competition, Shayla performed her routines with great confidence.  Her best performance came on bars, 15.550, which placed her second behind teammate Nastia Liukin and allowing her to qualify to the event finals held later in the week.  The rest of the evening went very well, beam (15.200), floor (14.900), and she competed her new vault successfully, yurchenko 1/2 , for a score of 14.700.  With an all-around score of 60.350, Shayla placed fifth in the all-around and TEAM USA won the gold medal!
