Gold is the goal for a duo that already knows what success is: Ponor and Izbasa are ready to fight for it. Mariana Bitang and Octavian Bellu are rebuilding a winning team. Catalina Ponor and Sandra Izbasa, the only Olympic Champions in the team are leading the generation of Ana Porgras, the only World Champion among the girls.
Catalina: We are slowly building a strong team again. We can be on the podium, and why not, win another gold medal.
Sandra: The team is growing stronger each day, we encourage each other.
In two months time, the Romanians will be competing for Worlds Gold in Japan.
Sandra: I have a phone application that shows me each earthquake. I check Japan and there is not one day without a 6.5, 5.8 earthquake.
Reporter: The important thing is for you not to be on the beam then.
Sandra: Yes, yes. I will definitely blame the earthquake….I’m joking!
Catalina: I came back trusting that I would get to the Olympics. Not even a tsunami can stop me now. I won’t come off the beam…or any other apparatus!
