'Lympic Ladies #16 - Catalina Ponor

A female gymnast sounds like every man's dream, but it's never that simple. When they try telling us that this chick is 20, you have to question everything. If all is right, though, and everything goes just as it should, you get the equivalent of a baseball player who can hit, slug, run, throw and catch. And Catalina Ponor has the 5 tools of female gymnastics - pretty, actually has breasts, can bend any which way, seems to be game for lying around in states of undress and does not constitute a statutory charge.

24 years old doesn't exactly sound old, but in the weird world of gymnastics is fucking ancient, which is why the Romanian is actually back for the second chapter of her career, having retired in 2007 at the grand old age of 20. A pocket rocket at just 5'3, she isn't just a pretty face, having won 3 golds at the Athens Games. But she is a pretty face aswell, don't worry. And a hot body. 

Her balance beam competition in London this afternoon ended in heartbreak, an appeal by the USA's Aly Raisman relegating her to 4th spot; Raisman then added insult to injury by pipping her to the gold on the floor. Hopefully for Catalina, being immortalised as a 'Lympic Lady will help to soften the blow.
