…like Corina?
Various blogs have been reporting that Corina Ungureanu, who seems to have been more well known for her Playboy antics than her world championship medals, is contemplating a return to gymnastics, even stating that she has managed to perform one of her old floor routines again.
Corina had a reputation (I think she still does) [...]
