Matei Stanei, that man talks a lot of %^&*, and I bet he was the one telling Ponor all those comments about how she was the best, no one could beat her etc that she supposodly repeated at the press conference. He is angry now because he thought Ponor would make him a star, and he could say nah-nah to B&B I made her a World Champion after she was in such bad shape when she left you. And now he can't. What about how she feels? Ugh what a horrible man just deserting her like that.
She was under a huge amount of stress, from herself, from Stanei, from the Federation, she was Romania's only WAG medal hope.I am not saying that she deserved to win, but I was so angry to read comments of "haha she got what was coming to her" and "I am so glad she got to eat her words" etc. She is 18 years old, she is Olympic Champion, European Champion twice, she has won numerous World Cups and the World Cup finals and this was the one medal missing, and then she hoped to retire. She didn't and she was destroyed, and people are baking in her misery. I hope she doesn't retire, I would hate for this to be the last competition of her career. But I also hope she stops training with Stanei and goes to Deva with Forminte.
