"All I want is to get there healthy, to be able to adjust very well with the floor. I'm not going there with the thought of winning a medal, but I do want to perform my executions precisely, nothing more, nothing less. I still have things to adjust, I am aware of that, but for now I am heading straight to the point, "said Izbasa.
The athlete enrolled with the Steaua club performed during the national Gymnastics championships winning first place on the floor apparatus, her favorite.
Moreover the floor competition has brought her the first Olympic title in 2008, in Beijing, at the end of an electrifying performance, with the audience in a standing ovation.
"I wish from all my heart to perform in this World Championship, because I’ve been missing it since 2007, when it was my last World Championship. I'd like to do this for myself, just like that, and to retire nicely, whatever the outcome. So I’ve decided together with the trainers, it was a tough decision, but you never know. I'll still keep my tone, I enter the gym without the pressure, to do sports like a hobby, but I am not considering Rio. I need a break which I think it's well deserved, "said the gymnast, according to Adevarul.
In the 2012 London Olympics, Izbaşa won one of the two gold medals of the Romanian delegation, managing a surprising performance in the vault final..
Along with the two gold medals, Sandra Izbaşa has climbed the podium twice alongside her colleagues in the Romanian team, winning the team bronze medals in both 2008 and 2012.
