A year after we first posted the award winning tell all exposé Secrets of a Gymnast by Andrei Nourescu, I’m embarrassed to say I still have not read it.
There seems to be several different covers. With at least two different titles in English:
Buy a copy for yourself, $20 at Cafe Press.
Books like this turn me off. I am suspicious of those who make money by “revealing” the “scandals” of the past. But, in the case of Romania, many of these scandals have been well documented already. For example: Romanian gymnasts faked age to compete (BBC, 2002).
I could believe almost anything possible.
That’s Alexandra Marinescu on the cover, one of the girls who’s age was faked.
Leave a comment if you’ve read the book and can recommend it. Or not.
Thanks northernriver of difficulty plus execution for the reminder.
