It Was Good To Be

Of Course, I Grew Up In Communist Romania, But I Am Happy To Say That Now Our Country Is Democratic, And Prospering, Since The Revolution In 1989.

As An Olympic Champion Gymnast, I Have Always Stayed Involved In My Sport.

Romanians Have A Saying, 'not Every Dog Has A Bagel On Its Tail.' It Means That Not All Streets Are Paved With Gold. When I Began My Career, I Just Wanted To Do Cartwheels.

I Hoped To Win A Medal And Hoped It Would Be Gold. I Knew I Was Good But Didn't Know I Would Be The One To Score Something That Had Never Been Done Before.

For Some People Life Outside The Spotlight Is Death.
