Ana Porgras

In 2007, she won the gold medal on balance beam, bronze with the team, and placed seventh all-around, fifth on vault and eighth on uneven bars at the Massilia Cup.

[8] In October 2009, during a ceremony at the Presidential Cotroceni Palace in Bucharest, Porgras received a medal honoring her achievements at the 2009 World Championships.

[14] One week later she defended her all-around title at the Romanian National Championships and also won gold on balance beam and bronze on floor.

[17] Individually, she placed fifth all around[18] and on uneven bars,[19] respectively, and won the gold medal on balance beam over Rebecca Bross and defending champion Deng Linlin.

In the qualification day she had a weak performance, grabbing the beam on her switch ring and falling on her double layout dismount on uneven bars, failing to make the event finals.

[25] Individually, she managed a good performance in the all-around final, but she only placed sixth due to small mistakes on floor and the low difficulty of her vault exercise.

[1] After injuring her elbow during a training camp in France she announced her retirement from gymnastics in January 2012, only seven months away from the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.
