One of the most beautiful and elegant gymnasts I've ever seen. She had an incredible routine here. Catalina forever.

Miss Ponor in my opinion is one of the greatest. So flawless in her work.

[@acapannn]

One of her best beam routine. Absolutely stunning. This is the Romanian style that I really like and miss to see it in upcoming games. Russian is known with elegance, while Romanian gymnast is famous with their sharp and quick stunt but still neat and does not look messy. I really miss this kind of Romanian style of gymnastic

[@MusikPiratCH]

Yes, indeed. It seems Catalina Ponor is the last of great Romanian women's gymnasts that all started with Nadia (who was cheering for Catalina)! *too sad*

[@irinamunteanumihai30]

@@MusikPiratCH Ana Maria Barbaosu is a junior Romanian gymnast with great qualities... She secured gold on all events in the last year Europeans. She will be the new senior star of Romanian gymnast, hopefully.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@irinamunteanumihai30 Thanks, yes let's hope there will be another strong Romanian female gymnast team (not only one star). At the moment (2021) the USA (with Simone Biles) seems unbeatable.

[@Fer-fy8dx]

Do Romanians not do this style of gymnastic anymore???

[@ivann.1916]

@@Fer-fy8dx not really, many gymnasts seem like the have no passion or personality while performing, just a few ones have that qualities, like Ana Maria Barbosu or Mara Ceplinschi.

[@ivann.1916]

One of the Golden moments in gymnastics history... Catalina Ponor, who's already triple olympic champion, delivers an extraordinary routine in the beam final, conquering her 5th European title (more than anyone), in her home crowd, with Nadia Comaneci herself cheering her up, redeems herself since the Rio Olympics and proving that age is just a number. She gave to Romania and gym lovers a triumphal moment and made us vibrate just like in Athens, 13 years before. Such consistency ang longevity, she truly is the queen of beam.

[@jojox9791]

Triple Olympian, but not triple champion BUT SHE SHOULD BE. I MISS HER! I MISS HER GYMNASTICS AND I MISS ROMANIAN GYMNASTS ON THE PODIUM... I STARTED AT 5 WHEN I WATCHED NADIA WIN IN 1976. ROMANIA 🇷🇴 IS A WOMENS GYMNASTICS STAPLE AND WE NEED THEM BACK PLEASE

This routine is jam packed what a way to go out! She’s got like 7 D+ rated acro skills alone

[@matthewhines9787]

Okay, save the landing on the double pike...that was the best routine I've seen her do. FFS what a way to go out. That routine would've won gold at any Olympics since '04.

[@ameliasadler3772]

Her and Larissa hugging at the end was the cherry on top of this amazing routine. I’m glad they’ve made up after everything that happened in 2016. Also, Nadia cheering was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.
