	Catalina Ponor - Sexy Sports Chick
		Ponor, who has lost 2.5 kgs in the past two months but still has to take off one kg, won the balance beam at recent World Cup events in Stuttgart and Maribor, boosting her hopes for the worlds.
		Ponor, who drives a red convertible given to her by her mother when she turned 18 in August, said the 15-year-old Sandra Izbasa who defeated her recently at the national championships posed no threat.
		Last month, Ponor won her favourite event of balance beam at the national championships but was beaten by Izbasa on the floor, a contest for which won Ponor the gold in Athens.

		Catalina Ponor suggested that the Romanian team coaches at the time, Mariana Bitang and Octavian Belu, were too harsh to the gymnasts during the training sessions.

		As a child, she used to supplement her training by practicing in the narrow hallway of her grandmother's house in Constantsa in eastern Romania, which her family says helped develop her proficiency on the balance beam.
		Says Matei Stanei, a former competitive gymnast who was Ponor's coach for 11 years: "After two years of training, I realized that she had what it took to be a gymnast.
		Should Ponor triumph, she will be fulfilling a lifelong ambition for both herself and her mother, Carmen Barbascu, who as a young woman was forced to give up her own dreams of gymnastic success to focus on her education.

	Romanian power: Catalina Ponor profile.
		We went around the whole country, and looked at many gymnasts, and we selected some of these to come and train with us at Deva." Catalina was among those seen on the journey, and her talent and selfless dedication earned her a spot on the national team.
		Even if the Brazilian girl Dos Santos appears to be unbeatable at present (as evidenced by her latest victories on the World Cup circuit), she hasn't heard the last of Catalina, who is working relentlessly to prove the forecasts wrong.
		We agreed on a piece of Greek music that is well-known in night clubs and we made a remix of it." With this choreography the naturally shy and calm girl has found a medium whereby she can best express herself.
