@NastiaFanNumba1 isn't necessary? did you watch the fluff on chelsie memmel from the 2008 olympics? she eats absolutely nothing.... basically fruits and vegetables, and a bit of chicken at lunch and dinner. anything more and she gains too much weight... and i remember seeing an interview with shawn johnson a few years ago in which she was excited to eat a cupcake at a party at school cause she didn't usually let herself. being at the top of any sport takes sacrifice, no matter where you live
@shadyshine14 okkay but i dont think our coaches make us watch our calories, nor do they really talk about going on a diet. im not trying to say that our gymnast dont eat...im just saying they just dont seem to watch their weight as much. and ur right it does take sacrifice but the romanian coach telling her she needs to work out more is just sad. thats all im saying...no hard feelings! :)
Wow, you're right! I was just following what the video said, but according to several online sources, she is 5'5" and about 110-115 lbs. Perhaps the translator made a mistake?
WTF! Africa doesn't have cellphones?? Tell that to the everyone who's got an effin Blackberry!! My mother had a reason for leaving people like you behind! Effin IGNORANT!!!
I love this! I have been searching to find more documentaries on Romanian and Russian gymnasts... Thank you so much for the subtitles!
Great stuff:) Keep posting please!

well i'll admit it is weird to see the Rom girls with so much technology, maybe thats why their program has gone to hell.

that's not the problem, the problem is the shrinking pool of girls from where to choose the olympic team.

"But yesterday I only ate salad" LIAR! She is the one that fell on beam at the olympics and then chuckled about it.

Izbasa CAN'T be 92 lbs! She'd be skinner than Khorkina!
She looks very healthy, I'd guess maybe 115
ItsNastiaFan101 2 years ago
Khorkina was 5'5", whereas Izbasa is just barely 5'0". If she was 115, she'd look much heavier as a gymnast.

@AndromedaAiken Umm, I already conceded that point like a year ago.

@AndromedaAiken Yea, but I looked at some Worlds articles and it was stated that she was actually 5'5.

The laptops belong to the school or to the gymnasts? I also never thought
they used cell phones I thought they
didn't have money to buy them.

the part where the coach was telling the girl that she needed to loose weight was sad to watch.
