2008 Pacific Rim Championships

Jana Bieger of Coconut Creek, Fla., was the uneven bars champion and took second on the balance beam.

Bieger won the uneven bars with a 15.550, finishing ahead of Liukin and Canada’s Kristina Vaculik, who tied for second at 15.225. Bieger gave a solid routine, finishing with a tuck full-in. Liukin missed a Geinger release but her well-choreographed routine still enabled her to earn a 15.225 and to tie for second. Bieger also was third on balance beam with a 15.525.

“I’m definitely happy,” said Bieger. “I wanted to prove I can hit beam and that’s what I did.”
