Andreea Răducan Interview
PS: How are you dealing with your weight problem?
PS: What do you think, will you be fit by Europeans in April?
PS: Are there enough gymnasts ready to compete in the five-member team event?
PS: How are you feeling?
AR: I'm don't even know how to describe what I'm going through. Honestly, I was never this bad before. I try to push myself, and it seems like I'm making progress and I'm on the right track. Then, all of a sudden, I'll miss a skill. I am pushing myself, but not the way I should...
AR: Ever since the crisis I went through, the extra weight problem has become an increasing obsession here at Deva. The coaches decided not to weigh me anymore and trust my own conscience, in order not to stress me out. I have a scale in my room that I keep looking at .
AR: I have no clue. I basically gave up retirement especially for this competition...For now, I don't want to make any statement. I'll comment on that after the competition [meaning she plans on going?]
AR: I can't even tell. We don't who is allowed to train and who is not. The girls are sometimes feeling better, sometimes worse. I can't say any one of them is completely ok.
AR: Same old problems with my right knee, back pain...I always wear a back brace with magnets. In any case, I realize that I won't feel better until I'll retire from gymnastics. That's for sure...
