She was so different from the other Romanians competing at the time. I wish things had worked out better for her.

@crnchygranola investigation of a citizen above suspicion

ahah! I love it !

I guess I'm saying what others are saying - if Alex had not been mishandled, she could have gone down in history as one of the best. Meaning Romania would have had FOUR of the best ever on one team.

@russianskatingfan I know it was within the rules-and I STILL say it was WRONG to take her out of a major AA TWICE. We'll just agree to disagree and be done with it.

The sad part if the Romanians were not injured they would have won team gold.

what is the name of this music ?

@HailieNichole1995 Marinescu could not have medaled. The only event she was capable of a really big score was beam and her vaulting sucked compared to the top women. And Amanar did have a chance to win the AA, she just didnt perform her best that day and made a big mistake on floor but still medalled. The Romanians got 3 medals with the 3 they put in the AA, so they clearly made the right choice.

@russianskatingfan We have different opinions as to who should have gone through to the all around, but I don't think it fair that if Alexandra qualified that she should be pulled out. Maybe Simona had the better chance, but did she win the gold? No. Therefore I don't see it justifiable to put her in over Marinescu due to the fact that Marinescu could have meddled, just maybe not the gold.

Sorry I meant a 39.387 for Amanar in team optionals.
If not for a horrible coach named Octavian Belu she might have had the chance to compete in the two major AA's she qualified to-the Olympics in 1996 and Worlds in 1997. But Belu always preferred his pet Amanar over the Bucharest firecracker who upstaged his robotic gymnasts on personality alone.

If not for horrible injuries, she might have ended up one of the best ever. Thanks for this video!
