GINA GOGEAN
REPORTER: Gina, how are you feeling now that you're AGAIN world champion with the team, the third time in your career?
GINA: I'm very tired after the competition, but you may guess how great, how happy, I
feel!
REPORTER: We heard you intended to retire! Is this true?
GINA: Yes, it is. This is my last international competition and this third world team title really helps me retire still "in glory", so to speak. I really hope that my mission was well accomplished!
REPORTER: Were you nervous during the trials?
GINA: No, I wasn't nervous when I had to compete, but when my teammates were competitng.
REPORTER: Do you think you'll be nervouis in the aa or in the aparatus finals?
GINA: I think I'm pretty good at self-controlling my emotional status. I am experienced enough and I am optimistic in what concerns the aa and the event finals. The most important thing is to trust your own abilities.
REPORTER: What do you think of your opponents?
GINA: I am not really interested in this matter. I just want to do my job as well as possible. It's also a matter of luck.

GINA: Anything but bars!
REPORTER: To whom do you want to dedicate these gold medals?
