Nadia Comăneci (63 years old) encouraged Sabrina Voinea (18 years) before participating in the Jakarta World Championships (October 19-25).
Nadia Comăneci has been in Romania for several days to deal with the projects she has in our country. On Friday, the first gymnast who received a ten in the Olympic Games, visited Sabrina-Voinea and coach Camelia Voinea at the gym within the “Lia Manoliu” complex, where she trained before Jakarta.
“I couldn't help but go to preparation, before leaving for the World Cup. I find it very prepared, 99,99999%. It has to take the medal on the ground and beam, I think it has chances. It is ready. It is ready. I think it is enjoying it. It accommodates the equipment.said Nadia Comăneci, quoted by As.ro.
Romania will participate with four gymnasiums in the Indonesia World World Current: Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (18 years), Denisa Golgotă (23 years), Ella Oprea (18 years) and Ana Maria Mihăescu (16 years). Ana Maria Bărbosu decided to jump over this competition, focusing on this year's studies at Stanford University.
Romania will not have representatives in the men's competition. “The boys have not had a constant in preparation for more than two years and failed to coagulate a nucleus to march at a world championship. Then, in relation to everything that is happening, directly, at the financial level, things can not only be in the way of participating,” explained Ioan Suciu.
Nadia Comăneci, thoughts about the year in which Montreal's success will be celebrated
Nadia Comăneci then spoke about what was following in 2026, declared “Year Nadia Comăneci”. “It is a very important year not necessarily for me, but for the fact that a 14-year-old girl, I go back like that, she managed to do something that she probably didn't imagine at that age. When I started gymnastics I was six and a little, I didn't know anything about the Olympics, about nothing.”said the one who marked the history of gymnastics and the Montreal Olympics in 1976, quoted by As.ro.

The Olympic champion continued: “It was an opportunity in a time when the little girls had no play. 80% were sports for the boys. And look, from a play, it came out to be what came out. I am happy for this time of the year Nadia Comăneci, which will be a holiday, and we will not know how to work. The 50th anniversary of Montreal, but also the history of Romanian gymnastics and what comes from the last ”.
