Coach Stanei and Catalina Ponor

<< Catalina Ponor is currently training at the 'Lia Manoliu' Sports Complex in Bucharest. According to her coach, she currently weights 53.7 kilograms, measuring 1.60 meters in height. 'We have decided it would be best for her to lose an extra 1.5 kilograms before the Europeans in April,' Stanei concluded.
So the participation at the Cottbus world cup in March will be an important step to the Europeans on month later.
