Ottawa, ON – Another successful championship for Ana.
Black was trailing Padurariu after the first day of competition after a fall on beam, but climbed to the top of the podium again after Padurariu had a fall on beam on day two.
“I was just excited to come out here and compete with the girls again, and to try out some new things, and see how everyone’s been coming back and building and I think everyone did an amazing job,” said Black who also captured the all-around title in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2018. “This title means a lot, but every competition is different, and every competition is special. Right now we have a couple of great all-rounders, and some great depth in our team so it was really exciting to get out there and compete with them.”
Black took the title with an overall score of 112.065, while Padurariu took silver with a total score of 110.799. Moors took bronze with a total score of 108.840.
