On Sunday, Dallas' Madison Kocian fulfilled a lifetime dream.
Kocian floated on the uneven bars, delivering a difficult routine that appeared to be flawless.
She finished behind Russia's Aliya Mustafina by the smallest of margins.
Mustafina's score of 15.900 was just a touch better than Kocian's score of 15.833. The difference was the difficulty of Mustafina's routine, which was one-tenth tougher than Kocian's brilliant set.
