    Buna Catalin,
    Anul acesta la mondiale nu va fi si finala pe echipe…editia de anul acesta e rezervata doar probelor individuale (individual compus si aparate).
    Sa speram ca gimnastele noastre vor fi sanatoase..asta e cel mai important in acest moment. Daca vor fi sanatoase atunci cred ca ne putem lupta pentru medalii..in special la barna si sol.
