Event 2025 European Championships - Event Finals (May 30-31)

Golgota should be so proud of herself for getting to this level in such a short amount of time. Onwards from here!!!! Go Denisa. She has also grown to be a beautiful young woman.

There is a lot of joy in Denisa’s gymnastics that wasn’t there before. I’ve really enjoyed watching her. It seems that she and Ana get along well, which is a positive for both I think

That's so true. I remember her as a bundle of nerves!!!

So Nina beam champ was not on my bingo card.

Charpy 12.966

Derwael wins gold on both UB and BB!

Barbosu silver!!

It is noticeable what a good team spirit there is among most of the Romanian team (one noticeable exception of course). It's great to see them smiling and enjoying things compared to them sitting in stony silence a few years ago

Nice to see Tonelli have some success after a couple rough routines.

 

[RAFIKI]

Gutted for Williams

I don't know what the coaching situation is like and I was worried since the Dutch trainer left, but they seem to be doing well again.

That's so true. I remember her as a bundle of nerves!!!

If I remember correctly, when she first turned senior she was really the only Romanian who was capable of making finals. So that was probably a lot of pressure. She was always very good on vault, so hopefully she will make a comeback on that piece by next year

Add me to the Oldham fan group. I’ve avoided his podcast just because my podcast backlog is so huge, but I might have to start listening now despite that.

Hopefully the success Barbosu and Golgota are having at these championships will stop them from driving out Corina Morosan.

Didn't she train an Amanar at some point?

Sorry to spam this thread, but has Melanie DJDS retired?

I hate that they play "another one bites the dust" when people fall

There hasn't been a huge change in the coaching situation really, since the Dutch coaches left. The national team is split across three gyms in Deva, Bucharest, Constanta. Sabrina trains separately from the others with Camelia at Constanta.

The Olympic team members are still at Deva until they finish school, by their request, but the Romanian coaches who were with them for the Olympic year are split between Deva and Bucharest and visit both gyms.

Denisa, by request, is at Bucharest so trains mostly with Corina Moroşan, who came back to Romania at Kiens's suggestion. Corina visits Deva too. Florin Cotitiu is in charge there and said he'd liked the Dutch ethos and learned a lot from those coaches. Kiens and Jones are due to visit as choreographers, all going well.

So for the moment there's been strong continuity - hope that will last.

 

[Puffin]

Oh look - if there is a tie they have to share the black cube of doom

It’s very “German sense of humour”

 

[Passion]

I had to go do something else for a minute and missed most of the PB final. What was Saladino confused about with his score? Was he signaling for an inquiry?

 

[onodian]

Who was bb bronce? It's a sunny day in Berlin and so I must go out or who knows when I'll see the sun again

 

[Passion]

It was an inquiry but he was denied. Eder into 3rd.
