World Championships Workout: Team Romania
Nov 15, 2011
This week's gymnastics workout video features one of the most legendary gymnastics programs in the world, Team Romania and coach Octavian Belu. This workout was filmed in Tokyo just 24 hours before the 2011 World Championships Team Final where Romania finished in fourth. Despite having high expectations coming into Tokyo, the Romanian team left without a single medal. Their eyes are firmly set on the 2012 London Olympics and getting reigning Olympic floor champion Sandra Izbasa healthy. 2004 Olympic beam and floor Champion Catalina Ponor began training just six months prior to the World Championships and looked fantastic in Tokyo. She will likely lead the team in London. Gymnasts in this video: Catalina Ponor, Ana Porgras (2010 World Beam Champion), Diana Chelaru, Diana Bulimar, Raluca Haidu, and Amelia Racea.
