Alicia Sacramone wins gold in the vault final at the 2010 world championships
"This week, Alicia demonstrated again how much value, leadership, and talent she brings to our program," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "She is very deserving of this fantastic achievement."
"I am glad to be back representing the U.S.," said Sacramone, who was a member of the 2008 Olympic silver-medal team. "To walk away like I did after the Olympics, with so many injuries and being disheartened after the Olympics, it's nice to set my mind to something, work hard and come back and get a big reward for all the work that I've done. It makes it worthwhile. I've got a silver and a couple of bronze (medals) so it's nice to complete my collection of vault medals."

Rebecca Bross takes the bronze medal in the uneven bar final at the 2010 world championships
"It (the finals) wasn't much different from last year's because I was last up on bars then too," said Bross, who won the all-around bronze medal earlier in the competition. "I'm very happy with how I did on bars today. I hit a pretty clean routine."

Bridget Sloan takes fourth in the uneven bar final at the 2010 world championships
"I am very happy with fourth," said Sloan. "Coming up (to fourth) from last year – I was sixth –is perfect for me. Finishing right behind my teammate Becca is incredible. I've been coming back from a few injuries, and I'm so happy to compete on bars at the world level. Coming here and proving myself, that I was ready to go on bars, is a great feeling."
