It's really sad watching this, knowing what we know now. . Whole generation of gymnasts being forced to under eat, over train, and told they're on the used pile by 16 or if they went thru puberty.
What was very sad with her career is everyone around her failed her she had a couple of good years when she should have had many many more such a talent wasted, I loved watching her and hope she is doing well I hope she is using her talent in other areas of gymnastics ,she has such a wonderful heart it was just sad to watch
She retired a few months before the 1996 nationals and trials. She was a national champion in 1995 and was part of the ‘95 world team, then retired not long after that.
Hollywood, where all the (movie) stars are. Meaning she was destined to be a great star too, but in gymnastics. She was also very cute, young, talented, charismatic, with Romanian blood. All the factors that would blend in for her to be a great star ... That's my guess.
