[Dec 1st]
Today is the National Day of Romania
Nadia Comaneci, husband Bart and some of their US friends, including famous actors (like Burt Reynolds receiving some of Nadia's "cooking talents"- a traditional Oriental salad) and other US stars, during a Romanian ProTv special program, (aired at 15,00 local time); also local Telesport station will broadcast a documentary about gymnastics, see our WebGymCalendar

[Nov 30] Happy Name Day Andreea...Chelaru, Raducan
for the interviews, click here...

[Nov 28] Belu want and hope to stay (& work) in Romania
In a statement for Romanian (state) national television TVR1, Octavian Belu said (smiling) that he want to "catch" the new elections, in 2008, still in Romania and to vote in his country, not abroad."Because we still have a lot to do here, at home". This is a direct hint that he (and Mrs.Bitang, which was also present at the interview taken near a voting center earlier today) want to remain the coaches of the Olympic team.

[Nov 28] Belu & Bitang new contract, may be concluded this week
Octavian Belu and Mariana Bitang will discuss Tuesday the new contract with the Romanian Olympic Committee. In a statement for Romanian all news channel "Realitatea" aired Sunday afternoon, Belu said that, both him and Mrs. Bitang, does not have special requests from R.O.C. and did not asked for any special financial conditions from them. Previous contract (which have started back in 2002 and ended last month) gave to Mrs. Bitang $1200 and to Mr.Belu $2000/monthly, according to our sources. We expect a slightly increase in these values, for the new contract, due to the good score at Athens Olympics (10 medals for Romanian gymnastics, see detailed medal count here)

EXCLUSIVE!

???Good Luck, Romania!
[Nov 27] Among Romanian gymnasts, Oana Ban (in Cluj), Silvia Stroescu (in Bucharest) and Oana Petrovschi (in Deva) have confirmed, for www.romanian-gymnastics.com, that they will go to (their first) vote tomorrow, Reports expected from Cluj and Bucharest.

[Nov 27] None of the girls from the Olympic team has the minimum (18 years) age required by local laws to vote tomorrow, Octavian Belu told to romanian-gymnastics this afternoon, during a phone interview. Only the coaches, including Mr.Belu and Mrs.Bitang, will go to vote tomorrow.

[Nov 15] Marius Urzica- (pure) Gold medal from R.O.C.
Romanian gymnast Marius Urzica (in the middle, photo at right) received today a (pure, massive) Gold medal from Romanian Olympic Comiteee, as a reward (and compensation) for his good evolution at pommel horse during Athens Olympics. In the eyes of former President of R.O.C., Mr.Tiriac, Urzica is the true winner of the pommel horse final, and Tiriac made the promise (click for Report) of giving him a real gold medal, Olympics-alike, right after the Athens games.

[Nov 12] Happy Birthday, Nadia!

Andreea Chelaru fan mail and new bank details
Some of you have requested us to find Andreea Chelaru address to send her Christmas cards or supporting letters. Here is the address:
Miss Andreea Chelaru
str. Celulozei, bl.5, apt.1, city Zarnesti ,
judetul (county) Brasov, zip code 2223
Romania, Europe

The Romanian banking system have changed all the numbers last month, due to new coming European Union integration. Her new bank account numbers are: Romanian Commercial Bank, Zarnesti Branch (Sucursala Zarnesti). Account owner: Andreea Chelaru

We also heard that during following days, a Romanian medical commission will take a closer, deeper look at all her medical record and check with foreign colleagues about any possible solution for another (new) operation and ways to fund it, both privately and from State funds. As soon as they can confirm us the results of these actions, will let you know.

[ Nov 09] Tora! Tora! Tora!*
Oana Ban & Silvia Stroescu, going to Japan
The girls will fly tomorrow to Paris (local fans, you may have few hours to try your chances) and then to Japan, to attend a TV show. Despite last few weeks two big earthquaqes, Oana and Silvia didn't want to disappoint theirs local fans by canceling their trip there and keep their promises. This afternoon (local time), both girls made a special photo session for www.romanian-gymnastics.com and also gave short interviews to our staff member Adriana N., the head of our European Office (which left for two days her University studies to meet the girls in Bucharest, thanks) -see nearby photo, Adriana- right-talking with Oana Ban this afternoon.

Oana and Silvia will be special guests of a show on the TBS channel. It's called 'Sasuke'. The competitors have to try and get through 4 stages of games, each stage having a couple of events they have to get through successfully to get to the next one. The first stage has 6 events to clear. Andreea Raducan, also a guest of this show few years ago, failed the second one called 'the rolling log'. She had to hold on to a big log with her arms and legs and then roll down a hill. She couldn't manage to hold on and fell into muddy water.

(Tora! was the Japan army slogan, before attacks, back in 2nd WW; we think that "our" girls will "conquer", once more, the hearts of local fans)
