[14] She then won the gold on vault at the Paris World Cup. [15] At the World Championships, Devillard fell on one of her vaults in the qualification and did not make it into the event final. [16]

I succeeded on both of my vaults. One could always do better, but I’ve come back, and I’ve repeated a medal... Given that [Paseka's] start value was mega high, with two-tenths more than mine, she was automatically the favorite. And she did her job. But I am also going to augment my difficulty value next year, and we’ll see who will win." [26]
