Remembering Larisa Andreea Iordache after Nanning

The World Gymnastics Championships just ended in Nanning and all I can say is this: “ Larisa  had so much more energy and she is so much more dynamic”.

She is the best balance between difficulty, artistry and joy out there. She posted the greatest total difficulty score of the competition (5.8 vault, 6.3 bars, 6.3 beam and 6.5 floor = 24.9 in total). However, her leaps are beautiful and very high, She always remembers how to smile Just look at the picture below,

She is the single one out there who smiles on the beam. I mean, really, you’re at the worlds, you’re just fighting for the bronze in the team final, your team mate just fell and you smile? How in love with gymnastics do you have to be to do that?

And in the end, when many other gymnasts say they are happy it all came to an end and when most of them think about a vacation, she amazes us by saying that she is very happy the autumn competitions are close. Larisa, you already proved us how much you love gymnastics but really now, no vacation? You really want to be THAT great again, after doing the same in 2013?


Good luck and see you in Rio.
