Ana Porgras....never to return!

So many people were devastated when the Romanian star Ana Porgras retired earlier this year. The only thing fan's could hope for was that she'd regret retiring and maybe comeback. Unfortunately, Ana has retired for good and is happy with her new life outside of the gym.

Ana's fans have been a little harsh towards her online since her retirement.


Here's a rough translation of what she had to say a few weeks ago: 

"Do you think you've made a big enough impact on me to come back to gymnastics? Well you are wrong. Many people have tried to do it and failed."

She also said this about her retirement back in March:

"The world talks. Nobody know's what's out there. I wish people would keep their opinions to themselves. In this country you are business. Then you are forgotten all over the world. But this is Romania."

All I can say is, I hope Ana is happy! Her gymnastics will always be remembered and of course greatly missed!

This photo was taken in May, nice to see she's still at it!
