Romanian Olympic Gymnastics Team

Romania, the defending Olympic team champion, will be represented in Beijing by:

Sandra Izbasa
Steliana Nistor
Ana-Maria Tămârjan
Gabriela Dragoi
Andreea Acatrinei
Andreea Grigore

(via difficulty plus execution)

UPDATE:

These six girls plus Daniela Druncea are the only “healthy” Romanians currently training; hence they are the Olympic team. “Healthy” is quite stretch when you consider that most of these girls are sort of walking wounded right now.

Given the precarious state of health for these girls, Cerasela Pătraşcu might still have a chance to be on that team, but no one wants to rush her after her knee injuries at Europeans. Most agree that she can score higher on UB than Tămârjan, Grigore and Dragoi, and Tămârjan is injured at the moment. If Tămârjan somehow doesn’t heal up in time, Romania should have the option of putting Pătraşcu on the team.

Otherwise, they would have to use Grigore on bars in TF along with Dragoi and Nistor, which may be undesirable as she sets the team back several tenths.
