Team captain Fabian Hambuchen had this to say about his young team mate's final performance that secured them the podium place:
Germany secured the bronze medal on pommel horse, its last event, where Sebastian Krimmer was the team's final competitor. Krimmer's 14.966 was more than enough to keep Germany in third place, behind China and Japan, who finished first and second, respectively. The U.S. finished fourth, followed by France, Russia, Great Britain and Korea.
"Sebastian never messed up a routine before worlds," Hambüchen told IG of Krimmer. "He always hit it, so I just told him to let it go the way he had done it in training. He stayed cool and did an unbelievable job. I'm very proud of him."
This is a perfect example of a world class team keeping to it's training regime... competition changes nothing, the work is done in the gym before hand.
The job at hand on the day is to just churn out another training session.
