Ekaterina Kramarenko

At the 2007 European Championships, Kramarenko placed 5th in the all-around final and won the bronze medal on the uneven bars.

When asked to comment on the incident, Russian coach Andrei Rodionenko explained, "Nobody knows what happened, it was a shock for everyone.

In the preliminary round she started off by sticking her double twisting Yurchenko, the vault she failed at during the last World Championships.

She went on to have solid performances in the team competition, bringing in 15.500 on bars and 15.125 on floor, contributing the highest score on the latter.

However, multiple mistakes from her teammates, including two falls on beam and two large out of bounds deductions on floor, dropped Russia to 4th place, less than a point behind Romania.

She qualified to the Top Massilia, where she placed sixth on beam and tied for gold on bars with France's Louise Vanhille.

Kramarenko's retirement, at age 24, was announced along with 2012 Olympian Anastasia Grishina and two-time World team member, Tatiana Nabieva, on January 19, 2016.
