Golgotha Files Abuse Complaint with FRG

I would say that Camelia, who is wealthy by Romanian standards, is probably more concerned about being personally sued than she is about any sort of action from the federation

You are right - it's likely time-barred as well if the former gymnast is 29

How would Camelia be wealthy, I thought gymnastics coaching did not pays well in Romania.
Did she stop coaching children to coach Sabrina, or does Sabrina train in a group?

She is not wealthy from coaching. She owns a very successful agricultural business and her husband is also successful in business.

Just read on Reddit that Gymcastic (BTS) is reporting that Voinea messed up her vault deliberately at 2023 Worlds "so that she would be the only Olympic qualifier". I'd like to hear more before believing it, but absolutely jaw-dropping if true.

Not gonna lie... this does NOT look like a real attempt at vaulting.

 

[rlayt]

It looked very fake at the time. No one could figure out why she would do that!

 

[Caledi]

Yeah, I mean she doesn't even really salute. In hindsight it does look very fake.

I have doubts about this - she went on to pull things out of the fire for the team with her beam routine.

She stopped vaulting in competition after this for a while and has only just gone back to two vaults.

And Camelia had a meltdown on the sidelines, so it doesn't look as if sacrificing vault was in the Voinea family master plan. Sabrina was considered as much a vaulter as anything else at that point.

I can see why people would believe it and I remember gossip at the time, but it doesn't add up at all for me. I can believe that Sabrina wasn't pushed to prioritize the team score but she was a potential finalist on vault as well as floor and beam back then.

IF that is true, why would you tell anyone thats what you've agreed to do?

Camelia is clearly a monster who should never be allowed near a gym again but this specific incident sounds a bit too far fetched to be believable without clear evidence.

No she was not - watch her vaults from RomGym Trophy that September. An extremely low DTY & a half on front tuck landed in a deep squat

She had personal motives (EF and/or Olympic qualification) to hit beam & floor, but absolutely none for vault
