Eddie: "When we found out we finally made it to the Olympics we agreed on one goal. Have the most fun of anyone in the Olympics. I think we did that."

An official crew has to set the bars each time Raegan would go. They actually never tightened the cables and there's a clip out there somewhere, with Eddie yelling down from the podium to the officials that the bars were not set. Go back and watch the bars finals and look at the bars from when one of the Russian gymnast competed. Cables were loose and it seems as though the same thing happened to her.
