If she had completed that connection between the "Onodi" and the next skill, and if she hadn't wobbled at the end of the double spin, certainly she would won this balance beam final.
It is just my opinion but I think that the UZB judge wanted that Catalina won a medal on bb because Catalina recived 9.40 the highest score and he gave Steliana Nistor 6.9 and if Steliana didn't won her siklver medal Catalina would be at the medals
Did she retire after this? I know she was asked to come out of retirement to help the Romanian team qualify for the Olympics...she went through all the training and prep to get back to this level of gymnastics to just not continue onto the 2008 Olympics...did she get injured between the 07' Worlds and the 08' Olympics?
The fact that Steliana Nistor finished third, and by finishing third, i mean, Catalina got kicked to the curve and out of the podium, that's what boggles my mind, is ridiculous! I like Steliana, you don't get me wrong, but she is so sloppy, almost everywhere.
Thats a shame she went over time:( Her routine was very long though, really packed full of difficulty. She was a beautiful gymnast in every way. Gorgeous looking young woman; really lovely facial features, strong cheekbones, lovely eyes. She would have a made a beautiful model:)
@ralucagymnast - true BUT had a bit of an attitude problem....to say the least....the looks she used to give the other girls was a reminder of that.......lol

hahahaha she wobbles after her two foot layout, took a shaky step after her ariel, missed major a connection, had a huge wobble after her double turn, had to rush her choreography, and took a step on the dismount
p.s. at 2:24 the announcer says "do not use fleshlights"...if you don't know what a fleshlight is, look it up
actually she never was world champion in this apparatus, and that's the main reason she was back. too bad she couldn't do it this time either. i hope she will hang in there for the olympics.
Never seen a Romanian this competitive step out of an olympics so fast. Liukin doesn't have Ponor's control, and Shawn Johnson doesnt have the polish.
and she´s back

they should let them have more time
90 seconds just isnt enough, especially for a packed routine
