Ana PORGRAS: Surprising Retirement shocked Romanians

Ana Porgras (ROU)

Romanian media reported, that the 2010 World beam champion Ana Porgras, who won the Longines "Prize for Elegance" but did not medal at the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo, announced her retirement this week.
"I could not go forward," Progras (18), told Prosport. "I felt that I physically could not - it was hard after so many injuries to take it up again."
2011 was a difficult year for Progras, who came into it riding high after victory on beam at the 2010 Worlds. At the French International, she struggled on bars and beam, her best events. Illness kept her out of the 2011 European Championships in Berlin.
By the time the World Championships came around in 2011 October, it was evident that Porgras, though an extremely elegant gymnast, was not going to contend for the all-around title due to her low difficulty full-twisting Yurchenko vault.
Coupled with that was her fall on beam in team prelims, which likely cost her the chance to defend her World title in event finals.
After an ellbow injury in December 2011 in a training camp in France Ana now declaered her retirement. ...

A big Olympian died: Olympism and Gymnastics in mourning!

Juan Antonio Marquis de SAMARANCH
*1920, July 17 - + 2010, Apr 21

 *fig--: President of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001 and Honorary FIG Member in 1983, Juan Antonio Marquis de SAMARANCH died today in Barcelona (ESP) in the presence of his family. He would have been 90 on July 17th of this year.

His mark on the Olympic Movement is indelible; he pushed reforms through IOC management and strengthened its financial standing through a pragmatic approach to the sale of television rights and commercial partner contracts.
Juan Antonio Samaranch maintained an intimate relationship with the international gymnastics community.
In 1983, former FIG President Yuri Titov of Russia named him an Honorary Member.


* Obituary of F.I.G ...;
In 2006, incumbent President Prof. Bruno Grandi (ITA) made Samaranch the guest of honour at the festivities marking the 125th anniversary of the founding of the FIG in Geneva (SUI).

Juan Antonio Samaranch and the four-times Spanish European Champion of 1957, Joaquin BLUME

A shrewd politician, gymnastics is indebted to Samaranch for the extensive audience and popularity it enjoys today.
“Juan Antonio Samaranch had a decisive influence on the development of the FIG.
We are ever grateful,” declared President Grandi, markedly affected by Samaranch’s passing.

On behalf of its gymnasts and the entire international community,...
...  the Authorities of the International Gymnastics Federation address their sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.
