An emotional message from Romania's Larisa Iordache. The gymnastics community was delighted when she secured her place at the Olympics earlier this year. What an unfortunate end for her. She had a bad landing off the beam in the qualification round and had to withdraw today form the final as well.
She also lost her mom a month ago, which only makes things harder for her. She promises to come back! The grit this woman has, wow. Definitely a lot to learn from her.
