| 16. Andreea Ulmeanu, former Romanian National Team Member (1997 - 2002), gymnastics. This small article appeared on June 11, 2002 at the ‘Amazing Andreea’ website. It seems that Andreea Ulmeanu was never lucky to begin with. After being the alternate in 1999 and 2000, she finally got a chance to compete at world level at the World Championships in Ghent last year but not for long as it seems that she is out of the national team for good. After all the girls were sent away from Deva in March to train at their home clubs, Andreea was one of the gymnasts who was sent to the health spa Techirghiol to heal her injured wrist but unlucky Ulmeanu “fell down the stairs” there and injured her back. Nevertheless, she tried to come back and take the tests in Deva last month but was sent home again because Belu and Bitang weren't satisfied. The other girls are going to take their final test next week so then we will find out who is allowed back onto the team and who isn't. |
