"The only thing with which I don't agree with the judges, and it's a personal opinion and not a criticism -- for me the gymnastics of the second American (Raisman) is more artistic than the first (Simone Biles). The first, it's acrobatics"
"Artistic sense is related to personality but also to the morphology of the body. She (Biles) is almost like a bomb, with amazing height. Whenever she tries to make artistic movements, they seem a bit forced. But she won, and she didn't steal it."

On the Chinese-
"They've remained trapped in a robotic style of training," Grandi told AFP on Tuesday. "They're beginning to change a bit now. Those who have kept pace with the changes are the Japanese.
"They (Japan) have improved the construction of their exercises, leaving behind Eastern-style choreographies to move towards the West, that is to say more harmony, imagination, creativity. I'm not criticising Japanese culture, which is huge, but they have built a nice crowd-pleasing routine for the spectators.
"They've moved away from tradition, and the Chinese should do the same. If they stay like they are, they are robots. They are perfect on geometric lines, but eurythmy does not exist."
"I fought to raise the age (16 for women and 18 men) - the Chinese held it against me - for finishing with this form of slavery. Imagine a boy of seven or eight working seven, eight hours a day."
