Olivia Cimpian no longer training at Deva
With Nicolae Forminte back in place as the national team coordinator, a healthy crop of juniors and young seniors putting together a good foundation at Deva, and both Catalina Ponor and Larisa Iordache picking up beam medals at Euros this year, things looked like they were slowly and steadily getting back on track for the Romanian program after last year’s disappointing Olympic Games.

The family did visit Zsofi Kovacs‘ club in Dunaújváros, Hungary. But she is not training there yet.

Andreea Răducan to challenge Adrian Stoica
Romania did a great job hosting European Championships 2017. Credit Stoica.
But the nation has certainly been troubled under his leadership. It’s about time Romanians questioned whether he’s the best person to lead the Federation.
