I wasn’t sure Holbura was even alive bc y’know Romania things but she’s doing okay so far

[marz-fraziers]

holbura is up on beam, mounts with a candle mount and stays on during the acro series. leap series is shaky but she manages, step back on the switch half, nails the front aerial+jump+bhs swing down. slight wobble on the full turn, big pause and nearly sticks her dbl tuck dismount

2019 Romanian National Team & Updates by Forminte (including injuries, staff problems and Chernobyl)

I gave up translating interviews lately, mostly because there’s not much to say, and if it is, it raises my pulse and I already have issues with that, but huge shout out to @airforcejuanaurelius​ for showing me Forminte’s latest interview and making my day. Gotta admit I missed the entertainment, because if you ignore the absurdity, he is quite the funny guy and below’s proof.

2019 NT - Denisa Golgota, Maria Holbura, Carmen Ghiciuc, Alexandra Mihai, Nica Ivanus, Laura Iacob, Maria Pana, Iulia Berar, Ana Maria Puiu, Ioana Crisan

(Forminte mentions having 10 seniors on the NT, names 9, says he’s forgetting someone, moves on, 2 minutes later remembers Crisan) 

Golgota will go to Doha and Baku WCs to prepare for Euros. Everyone skipped Jesolo because of the flu which delayed their training. Euros Team will probably be Golgota, Ghiciuc and Iacob, or maybe a miracle will happen with Berar and Puiu and they can get up to date with their training to be able to perform.

Golgota is the only healthy one, Mihai has been out with elbow pain for 2 years - eventually had surgery, Crisan has been struggling for 2 years with a twisted ankle - turns out she will also have surgery (‘to do something to her, I don’t know what, 'cause I’m not a doctor’ - Forminte). Berar and Puiu have been out for 6 months due to ‘common pains’ (‘I’ve never seen such a generation before’ - Forminte).  Later on, he brags about how girls don’t get injured in Deva, apparently all the issues are from before, when they trained at the club.

He names several things contributing to the state of gymnastics, like how gymnasts aren’t as strong as before, you know, due to nutrition and Chernobyl (yes, he actually said that). Also, narrow selection pool, parents being too involved, no choreographer, no doctors on the NT (he has a point with the poor medical staff, though), etc. 

He mentions how, usually, when they have requests to local authorities, they usually get the standard response - ‘there’s no money’, but goes on to say that ‘fortunately, gymnastics can’t complain, as it has everything it needs to function, but we struggle with the staff, such as a choreographer, or a doctor.’ - Idk if he genuinely thinks they can’t find them in all of Romania, because, apparently, it’s not about the money?

The interviewer says he read about Larisa trying to come back and asks Forminte for more info, to which he responds ‘why would you think I'd know more about it?’ Turns out he read from the media that Larisa had the 3rd surgery and is trying to find a solution to train in Bucharest or Izvorani. She didn’t get in touch with him, so he doesn’t know what’s up with that.

Blames others for keep saying that there’s no hope for this generation which makes the girls and their parents lose motivation, totally ‘forgetting’ how he said that himself idk how many times.

2018 Romanian Nationals

Saturday, Oct 13th - WAG TF & AA || 16:00 - 18:00 (local time)

Sunday, Oct 14th - WAG & MAG EFs || 10:00 - 13:00 (local time)

Gymnasts: From what I saw, the Juniors and Seniors will compete together. Some of the big names are Stanciulescu, Duta, Berar, Marchidanu, or Sfiringu among the juniors, and Golgota, Crisan, Ghiciuc, Iacob, Ivanus or Holbura among the seniors.

Stream: MAG TF & AA was streamed live on the Federation’s Fb page today, so I assume WAG will also be streamed tomorrow. The competition will also be broadcasted by TVR2.

Technically, the Worlds team will be announced after this. but at this point, let’s be honest, they just need to determine who the alternate’s gonna be because I’d be shocked if the 6 going to Doha are not Golgota, Crisan, Ghiciuc, Iacob, Ivanus and Holbura.

[gymfanconfessionsnac]

Assuming that the RGF had handled things well last quad so that nobody quit, gymnasts improved steadily on the path to Rio, qualified to the games in 2015, and everybody was at relatively at full health, would have it been possible for a team of these gymnasts to upset for a medal? Larisa Iordache Catalina Ponor Laura Jurca Andreea Munteanu Stefania Stanila ALT: Anamaria Ocolisan, Diana Bulimar, Maria Holbura

I’m really unclear on how to answer this question because you seem to be asking whether or not Romania could have challenged for a medal in Rio with a strong, healthy, consistent team...to which the answer would be yes, of course a strong Romanian team could have challenged for silver or bronze. It’s just that you’re kind of asking “would things be different if things were different”, which is hard to answer in a meaningful way.Were you maybe wondering about something more specific, like whether or not the Romanian beam lineup in the proposed scenario could have kept pace with the USA? -Merk
