But when we part, it was more a collective goal. And no, it did not live up to what we thought. We wanted to make the team final, being in the top eight, and it was not the case. Individual objectives of the other girls were not made either. Collectively, it has been a disappointment. But individually, I was very happy to get in the final of the all-around competition."
After the Olympics, Malaussena competed only at domestic events, and she retired in 2014.
