Photo of the Day



An update on Ana Porgras. It looks like she will not be pulling a Catalina Ponor anytime soon.

  1. Oh Porgas, so much potential... Tough year in there but you leave me too soon. Gymnastics should have an upper age requirement to which gymnasts should be forced to compete. Kidding....only a part of me meant it. Anyhoo, porgas may prove entertaining to follow outside of gymnastics as well. Heh.

  6. Whoa - classic case of a gymnast going through puberty 2 minutes after she retires.

    I guess this glamor photoshoot was her ego-fulfillment - a (fleeting) substitute for gymnastics in terms of the prestige it gives her. If we learned anything from the film Kukolka (Dolly), it's that gymnasts' post-retirement puberty can be complicated by monster-sized egos that are in a brutal fight for survival.

  7. Good lord, it's not mean to say she gained weight. She quit exercising eight hours a day and went through puberty; if she didn't gain any weight she ought to be in the hospital.

  9. She looks great for a post-competitive career gymnast, but between the terrible bleached hair, the spackled on make up and the platform heels, she looks more like a stripper than a former champion.

  10. Why do so many of my former faves go the Euro-Trash route ala Gutsu after retirement? Sigh...

  11. She looks fine, but the pose and photo composition is very much "High school yearbook photo."
