Olympians should stay off social media
During the Olympic Games.
They should have people filtering communications from the media and general public. I heard of many who were distracted. Including Cata Ponor.
Bea Gheorghisor posted an exhaustive review of the social media issues.
Fact is that Cata’s comeback for Rio was fantastic. It’s clear she was the best choice for Romanian Olympian.
UPDATE – On Gymternet Clan I read that Cata Ponor has deleted her official Instagram and Twitter accounts. Should you see any accounts that are posing as her … they are fake accounts.

H Bar: HAMBUECHEN, LEYVA, WILSON
After four Olympic Games and a decade as the leader of the German team, Fabian Hambuchen finally has his long-awaited gold at 28. The 2007 World champion on High Bar won bronze in 2008 and silver in 2012 but considered himself over the hill before the Rio Games, which he says will be his last. He nevertheless qualified first to the final.
The expected duel between Hambuechen and London gold medallist Epke Zonderland never materialized. “The Flying Dutchman” fell to his stomach a risky release combination and finished seventh. …

Rings: PETROUNIAS, ZANETTI, ABLIAZIN
Clean execution was the key for reigning World Still Rings champion as he trumped 2012 Olympic champion Arthur Zanetti to deprive Brazil’s “Lord of the Rings” of a second gold after London. Petrounias, Zanetti and bronze medallist Denis Abliazin of Russia performed equally difficult routines, but Petrounias ended his flawless exercise with a stuck dismount.
