Romania has no money to send its athletes to the Olympics in Paris this summer, Prime Minister Ciolacu said last Friday. They will ask the National Lottery to issue a special ticket for this. Romania is eaten by corruption, so for a looong time we will not see a Ponor, a Răducanu or a Comăneci :(

The real drama of the Romanian gymnasts is the number of good gymnasts that never ever had the chance to shine because the competition for the national team was so strong. In those days we had enough good gymnasts for at least 3 national teams. For most of them was just hard work and little to no reward....

Your hope, unfortunatelly, won't come true. Not in 2024. Maybe much later, when the children of Romania who have the talent and dream to follow in Nadia's footsteps , ( and their parents ) will understand that becoming such a champion includes years and years of hard working, practice, and sacrifices of all kinds...And when those who rule Romania will give more credit, and finances , to gymnastics ( and this , for certain, won't happen in the near future).
