August 2008. The whole world was preparing for the big celebration of the sport, the celebration of peace and success: the Olympic Games. In Romania, both specialists and fans were hoping that, in spite of the modest results obtained in 2007, the Olympics would bring recognition for the Romanians, especially in those sports which traditionally [...]
Intr-o perioada in care toata lumea acorda premii sportivilor pentru anul 2008, noi ne-am gandit, in spiritul acestui blog, sa acordam si noi, simbolic, cateva distinctii gimnastilor nostri.

Before the Olympic Games in Beijing, the name Gabriela Dragoi was known but to a few specialists and fans of the gymnastics world. Nevertheless, Gabriela Dragoi is definitely Romania’s surprise at the recent Olympics. The youngest member of the team, at the time not even 16 years old (she turned 16 on 28 August), surprised [...]
Pana la Jocurile Olimpice de vara de la Beijing, numele Gabriela Dragoi fusese remarcat de putini specialisti si fani ai gimnasticii mondiale.
