Gymnast


Ana
Barbosu
is
heading
offline.

After
the
Romanian
gymnast
found
herself
at
the
center
of
attention
at
the
2024
Paris
Olympics
after
a

change
to
the
final
score
of
Team
USA’s


Jordan
Chiles’
floor
event

bumped
her
off
the
winner’s
podium,
she
announced
she’s
pressing
mute
on
the
noise.

“Thank
you
everyone
for
the
support
messages!”
Ana
wrote
in
English
on
her

August
7
Instagram
Story
over
a
photo
of
the
Olympic
rings
in
Paris
at
sunset,
“I
will
take
a
break
from
the
social
media.”

She
added
in
Romanian,
alongside
a
smiling
emoji,
“For
those
who
know
me,
you
have
my
number.”

This
is
the
second
time
the
18-year-old
has

shared
a
social
media
message
following
her
medal
loss,
the
first
echoing
her
feelings
of
gratitude. “Thank
you
to
everyone
who
encouraged
me,”
she
wrote
Aug.
5,
“before,
during,
and
after
the
competition.”

At
the
time,
she
also
reposted
a
Story
from
retired
Romanian
gymnast

Sandra
Izbasa-Bianca
cheering
her
on.
