At the recent world championships in Nanning, Romanian star Larisa Andreea Iordache, won two silver medals. She is looking ahead to next year's world championships in Glasgow and the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.I think she will able to do better in next year’s world and the coming Olympics.
She hopes her mental toughness will help her in her quest for gold in the next two years.
"In order to be the best, you have to be fearless because of course fear creeps in – everybody has them – but you have to love what you do very much in order to overcome those fears," she said.
Iordache began gymnastics at age 5, as many Romanian gymnasts do. She was spotted by coach, Mariana Campeanu-Silisteanu, while playing with her brother.
The 2014 World Championships in Nanning Iordache won silver medals in both the all-around and on floor exercise.
"My favorite gymnast was and still is Nadia Comaneci – the world's best gymnast," Iordache said. "Of course I appreciate and respect the others because they've contributed something to gymnastics, and they make me determined to become like them – and I am now trying to do better than them."
