She was pretty raw and technically she didn't know what was going on and that's understandable. So we sat back and laughed. We had all been there, we had all been the ones who didn't know what to do. I remember my first film was terrifying, so it was nice to sit back like I was Jack Lemmon or something.

Skeet Ulrich

To be where she's at after what happened is really impressive. She hasn't been patient with herself and that's understandable because she's a real competitor, but her best vaulting will be at the end of the year. And hopefully she's back to where she was then.
