Romanian Gymnastics Documentary

[goyasunlight]

Getting naked for a Japanese porno I can forgive Milo, but that mullet is a crime against humanity.

[quelita28]

To anyone training in Romania:if you ever have acoach hit you or is verbally abusive and he yells a lot at you and insults you please don't let him get away with it. Some coaches in the Eastern Block countries are very cruel. Do complain to someone you know, There is a democracy in Romania,and people can

say now whatever they want,there is freedom of speech. Don't forget that.

@quelita28 u have right is not normal to be treated like this i watch the secret of deva and i feel very bad watching the coaches they were violent and cruel shame on them!

[quelita28]

@TheRomanitza

That's rights.The thing is that the young gymnasts in Romania are too scared of speaking out when coaches abuse them physically or verbally. They have to be brave and tell the authorities about it! If not the abuse is going to continue and it will never end.

[quelita28]

@Axi12Sasha How much do you have to pay per month for the classes any privileges you and the other gymnasts are given? (ex: use of cell phones,etc.)

[Axi12Sasha]

@quelita28 well,at deva u dont pay,it is a selection and u pay just a bit(idk how much,my parents do) and there are not privileges

[pageantkid]

I love to watch this!How old is this documentary?

[bbhouk1]

@pageantkid judging from the look of milo, i think this documentary was made around 1998-2001 years. Hope this helps!

[Rhubarbyify]

@bbhouk1 IIRC this was from 1998 Goodwill Games coverage maybe?

[Xerminator1]

im from romania and i love nadia

[vonkaunaz]

emmaionescu: i agree with you. In the ultra-material world and mindset of the people of the U.S.A. there´s this tendency to see things in terms of being "fancy" or not. They should check on the medal tables for gymnastics in the olympics, say, of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s to see where the "fancy trained" gymnasts of the U.S.A. stand versus the gymnasts of the former USSR (now Russia or Ukraine), Romania and the former East Germany. Guaranteed: they will be shocked to see what the results were.

[Chuckie1028]

@vonkaunaz oh calm down, that slam on us Americans as materialistic is pathetic. Nice blanket statement! Yes the BEST gymnasts of the past came from Romania, USSR, and East Germnay, and now in the new centrury of gymnastics the Americans are clearly on top and are the number 1 gymnasts in the world, every country has their time and clearly this is America's time, that's just a fact!

[vonkaunaz]

@Chuckie1028: Nothing wrong with materialism though; its human nature. The point is Americans are the most materialistic people on planet earth. Now, about gymnastics, yes...precisely the best American gymnast during Beijing was Anastasia Valeryevna Liukin, daughter of Valery Liukin and Anna Kotchneva, do yo know who these persons are? Also you are wrong, from where do you get Americans are # 1 gymnasts in the world? At Beijing gymnastics they were # 2, behind China.

[lswalling]

This was shown during the 1998 Goodwill games

This is really interesting. Thanks for posting it. It is great to see Milosovic's progression from champ to coach.

[LMA629]

also i didnt call romania a third world country. i dont know where you got that from so chill out.

[LMA629]

trust me i wasnt making fun of romania, i know they cant afford grips. trust me, i love romania and love their gymnasts. i was just stating that i wouldnt want to go through the pain of having calluses ripped off my hands

[carriemydear]

Grips are more for gripping the bar rather than protecting your hands. China doesn't use grips, but they sure can afford them.

[nessiali]

lool this was in 1997 lool

[LMA629]

actually i take that back. id rather be in a gymnastics school here b/c gymnasts here get to use grips on the bars & dont have to have whole calluses ripped off their hands

[LMA629]

god i wish i wasnt so tall so i couldve gone to romania & been a kid in deva!!!

[miamiamiomiamiomia]

Their not trying out 4 deva their trying out for the school IN DEVA.

an there is not only one phone in deva,but only one public phone in that school.

Deva is a freekin' city ,I should know,I live there

[serenenz]

I love this documentary and it is nice to know what Milo is doing with her life after gymnastics. It is a shame that it was so short - that is my only regret. I wish the documentary was much longer. Glad that it is in English.

[quelita28]

are there any private gymnastics clubs in Romania besides the one of Camelia Voinea?

[STARBARDD]

What about Florin Gheorghe who murdered Adriana Giurca? Do the kids know about him? Was he the 'pappa' to the girls?

[GymFloozie]

He was sentenced to 8 years but I think he only spent about 5 years in jail. It's a very sad situation. Of course everybody sweeps it under the carpet.

[marieked]

Actually he spent only 3 years in prison...

[LMA629]

i know starbardd, i just read an article about it. he claims he wasnt a tough coach and he pushed her. witnesses say tho he grabbed her by the neck & slammed her neck into the beam, then made her do a very difficult floor routine that she messed up. he then beat her wildly throwing puches and kicks at her & then beat her with a thick bat.

[jujujoanna]

stupid idiot,he just said :,,there is just one phone in deva''....just 4 your knowlege..there r a lots of phones in deva,not just one.

[audie83]
