She was named to the Junior National Team for the first time following the 2005 National Championships, a feat she repeated in 2006 after a fifth-place finish in the all-around. Hong became a Senior International Elite in 2007. She was part of the gold-medal winning.U.S. team at 2007 Pan-American Games and won the bronze medal in the all-around competition. This and a strong showing at the 2007 Visa National Championships assured her place on the U.S. World Championships team, which again won the gold medal. 〔http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/Story.aspx?ArticleID=294〕 The following year, Hong was named to the 2008–2009 U.S. Senior National team,〔http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/Story.aspx?tabid=369&ArticleID=2233〕 and was invited to the 2008 Olympic Trials. Hong's skill as an all-around athlete without a weak event enabled her to be named, along with Jana Bieger and Corrie Lothrop, as one of three alternates for the U.S. Olympic team.〔http://www.usa-gymnastics.org/Story.aspx?tabid=321&ArticleID=2296〕 Following the Olympics, Hong left her former gym and moved to WOGA to train with Valeri Liukin. Hong finished second in the all-around at the 2009 U. S. National Championships with a total score of 117.250 in Dallas, Texas. She also won the national titles on the balance beam (with a combined score of 30.350) and the vault(combined score 29.950). At the 2009 World Championships in London, Ivana scored a 14.550 on balance beam to win the bronze medal on that event. This made medalists of all four American gymnasts (Bridget Sloan, Kayla Williams and Rebecca Bross in addition to Hong) in the women's competition. In early March 2010, Hong tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee at the National Team training camp as she landed a vault. She subsequently spent several months out of training, recovering from surgery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivana Hong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
