Race for Rotterdam: Romania

Romanian gymnasts are certainly the tradition for gold, but lately have been struggling with senior and junior's. Sandra Izbasa is certainly a senior with a major problem. In September 2009, Sandra tore her achllies tendon at a training camp at Bucaresti. Izbasa is finding it hard to recover. Ana Maria and Gabriela's chances of competing highly are slim as they are struggling with injury(ana maria) and with weight (Gabriela.) But on the bright side, Voicu,Haidu,Porgras,Patrascu and Racea are all rearing to go as they performed great at Bucarest in the Nationals champs. Porgras will defintly be a threat to Yilin,Semenova,Sloan and Bross.

gymnasts to look for:

Raluca Haidu
Caresela Patrascu
Claudia Voicu
Ana Porgras
Amelia Racea

Race For Rotterdam: Denmark

The main contenders for Rotterdam in Denmark are: Mette Hulgaard and Miram Offersgaard. Mette gained experiance from London whilst Miram at Milan. Both of these gymnasts are great and should certainly make it to Rotterdam.

thank you

The race for Rotterdam:India

I am now creating a series called 'The race for Rotterdam.' The first country is India. India isn't the richest gymnastics team in the world so hopefully they can get a spot. The gymnast in contetion for Rotterdam are:

-Mennakshi
Priti Das
Gita Das
Dipa Karmakar
Tumpa Depanth

Most of these gymnasts got valuable experience at London(mennakshi,Das,Depanth,Karmakar.)

I'm sure they can waltz into the Qualifications at the Nederlands.

Volochenko,Ninkova,Galiulina,Kozich

Irina Volodchenko,Anna Ninkova,Eliza Galiulina,Alina Kozich all have the same goal 'to do well in Rotterdam.' These gymnasts are Uzbek and are very good. Volodchenko competed in the Cottbus turnier de minster in Germany. Eliza in Beijing. Kozich in London. But Ninkova has not been on schudle. Volodchenko wants it most and Ninkova is not putting in the hours in order for her to compete at Rotterdam. Eliza and Alina are very much seniors especially Kozich competing for Ukraine at Beijing. Eliza is losing time aswell as she narrowly missed the turnier de minster.

Hopefully they can get to Rotterdam at October

Russia's Little Angel: Ksenia Semenova

Russia's 18 year old Ksenia Semenova from Novomosvk is an absolutely brilliant gymnast. She won gold in 2007 at Stuttgart worlds at 15 in her first senior year. Hopefully she can battle on at Birmingham and Rotterdam to recieve gold against Yang Yilin,Beth Tweddle,Rebecca Bross and Ana Porgras. Her coach is Marina Nazarova and she has lived in 3 cities (Moscow,Novomsyvk,Tula.)

Sandra Izbasa: Can she come back?

This post is all about Sandra Raluca Izbasa.

Sandra picked up a torn achilles tendon in September.She has found it very tricky to come back.

She competed in the Romanian Gym Nationals only on Balance Beam.I am not sure what ranking she got.

I hope she can carry on in time for Worlds.

Upcoming Chinese Team and Gymnasts

I am very curious of the new chinese Gymnasts coming up to Juniour level. These gymnasts include Cui Jie and Deng Shaojie.

Cui Jie

Also some other gymnasts are making returns such as He Ning and also Jiang Yuyuan.
