with Ana Padurariu
In this episode of Gymnastics Now’s “Gymnasts on Zoom Drinking Coffee” series, we sit down with 2018 World balance beam silver medalist, Canadian Olympic hopeful, and future UCLA Bruin Ana Padurariu.
Ana and host Patricia Duffy discuss her decision to defer her enrollment at UCLA, Olympic preparations, including a post-surgery update on her ankle, and more. Plus, Ana tells us her favorite UCLA floor routine this season, her thoughts on the team as a whole (episode was filmed 3/11), why she thinks she’s weird (PSA: we’re all a little weird!), and much more.
