I saw Team Romania shopping in the mall yesterday. And was struck at how happy they were, as a group.
Brigid has seen much more of them than I:
… The Romanians were clap happy tonight! They have been wonderfully cheery in training all around, and I see nothing but jokes and warmth between the coaches and the girls.
Sandra was in top clown form. She mucked up a pass, landing awkwardly and decided to flop sideways onto the ground in this sort of melodramatic swoon and lie there, playing dead for a minute. Everyone cracked up. Ceresela was in stitches and even Octavian and Lili were laughing. …
That’s from a very entertaining and lengthy update on Couch Gymnast – PRE-TEAM TRAINING NOTES (OR ESSAY)
The beautiful Sandra Izbasa.
