Larisa Iordache vs. Catalina Ponor

Even though Romanian Legend, Catalina Ponor's comeback is not official, many are comparing her to her Olympic teammate, Larisa Iordache. Catalina retired after London, but 16 year old (at the time) Larisa Iordache, kept on going. She had great individual success while Catalina was at home watching. And her success was multiplied by 2 in Nanning. Larisa had jumped up on top. Many started comparing Lari to 1976 Olympic Champion, Nadia Comeneci. All the gym fans have heard of Nadia. And, Larisa Iordache. When I heard that Catalina was possibly coming back, I started talking to people on Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter. And many people were like me, freaking out. Everyone on the Gymteret knew, that if Catalina came back and tried to take titles on beam and floor (Which are Larisa's two best events) Larisa would give her a fight to the finish. More so on floor, probably, since Larisa does not have the best track record in Balance Beam Event Finals. But if the two girls were both representing Romania in the Finals, it would be a fight between the two. Once Cata announces her comeback, I will be blogging like crazy! And when she doesn't, I will be blogging like crazy, but less more enthusiastically.
