Brain Teasers

Some one posts a brain teaser and someone works it out

During a recent gymnastics gala, four girls competed in three events, the vault, the beam and the floor. Chloe came third on the floor. The girl who came second in the vault, won the beam event. The girl who came second on the beam won the floor. Jessica beat Alex in every event. The girl who won the vault came second on the floor. Caris came last in the vault. Can you determine who finished where in each event?

Warning! Spoiler Below:

Name Vault Beam Floor
Jessica 1 3 2
Chloe 2 1 3
Alex 3 4 4
Caris 4 2 1

(My paper looks something like the above. Was supposed to look like a grid/table, but the extra spaces were removed (
