Anna Pobokova works hard for her return...

Dual Dutch national champion Anna POBOKOVA will return next season to the international competition circuit.
The 19 year old gymnast is living now in Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands.
In 1999 she immigrated together with her mother  and started a new career in 2002...

Due to a severe back injury and a break from April 2005 to April 2006 and an almost fatal traffic accident in January 2007, she could not take part for a long time in national and international competition.

Last year in May 2006, she became national vice champion of the Netherlands and she had her international comeback at No Limits Open 2006, in Antwerp (Belgium).....

Anna, 2002, as a child of fifteen years

I intend to continue for years, perhaps to 2012. It is unfortunately no longer possible to do some exercises with my back like in former years. In the beginning of my sports career I was known for my very flexible back. Now I have adapted my exercises to my possibilities”, so Anna Pobokova.

Today: ... Anna, full of energy, again!

Anna Pobokova says: “The contribution of the Johan Cruyff College is inseparably linked with my social career and reaching my goals in sports. I will work hard to reach the national title next year. My other aim is to appear in the Grand Prix series in 2008”.
