There are a lot of countries flying in just to watch that meet. It'll be a first big step to it. You're going to put athletes together from different countries. Then you're going to be able to compare differently designed routines. Then you're going to see judges from different countries sit down together and compare.

Everyone is going to be challenged. It's going to be a pretty good step, but not the biggest until you see more events around the world occur.

They're gaining some valuable experience. I think we're going to have a stronger team than we had in '04.

We were on the edge of some really great performances, but we didn't quite get them. I think some guys thought, 'Paul Hamm isn't here to win it. It could be me,' and a new pressure came on some of them. That's what we want them to learn.

I'm very excited to see around the world how all the countries are going to approach the code.

We could have even a stronger program team than '04. We're trying not to let the bottom fall.
