Camelia Voinea … was best known for her powerful tumbling, her innovative 1986-87 floor exercise that featured breakdancing elements, and for being the first gymnast to tumble a double layout to punch front somersault.

In 1987 she scored a perfect ten for the floor exercise during the team competition event at the World Championships.

… “It was a shock; I had no idea what it was going to be like to be on the floor,” Sloan said. “When you’re sitting in the stands, it looks like so much fun, but when you’re out there, it is a blast. I’ve never had that much fun at a meet. I really enjoyed every minute of it.

“Having that team behind you is just awesome, and the crowd was just amazing.” …
