Do you think she has nothing Leonard made one of the final spot on the women's side. You know it's not an easy road which he's been going through and I experienced that in 2009 had about six months getting competitive shape for all four events. It was very difficult for me but the one thing is not he had on her side that she's only focusing on two events bars which she's going to be dominant and as well as the balance be. She had a -- national championships and heard he's a little disappointed with the performance. So me being a veteran in the -- I think that he has potential to make this team she missed a number of combinations and her skilled -- the level that they should've been.
