Belu and Mariana Bitang invented a job offer in China
According to an article on sina.com,
Gao Jian, head of the Chinese gym federation, has denied making
an offer to Belu and Bitang.
Apparently, B & B have been invited to Beijing for a series
of lectures in early 2006, but nothing beyond that.
Gao Jian doesn't know how the international media got the
idea that the Chinese Federation planned to hire B & B
as coaches or technical advisors.
Gao
Jian seems to be denying reports that China wants to hire
Belu and Bitang as technical advisors.
The two Romanian coaches have been invited to give a series
of lectures in China early next year, but other than that,
nothing else has been settled.

lies about China offer, exposed on national television
Romanian
gymnastics fans opinions:
# I probably have a very suspicious mind, but does anyone
else think this might be a tactic of B&B? I was re-reading
an old article yesterday and it was from November 2004, and
the headline was "Belu: I haven't ruled out the possibility
of coaching overseas". And that was a year ago!! So it just
seems it might be a threat to the Federation. (Queen Diva)
# It just seems Belu recycles the same threats until
he gets what he wants, so many times he said he is quitting
coaching, then he might coach overseas and everytime the Fed
reinstate him.(Queen Diva)
# [if they go to China] Don't let
them near bars!(Rafiki)
# How about taking some chinese coaches
to Romania so that they can improve on bars??? That would
be Romania's salvation.(silvana23)
# I always thought that if you could combine
the tumbling, vaulting and consistency of the Romanian team
and the grace, originality, form, bars and beam of the Chinese
team, you would have an unbeatable gymnastics team. However,
I have a feeling that B&B would just make Chinese gymnastics
more fugly... as well as inconsistent... Not that I believe
that this would happen anyway! (Kerby)
# If B&B go to China, I hope Confucius rises from the dead
and murders them.(Heff)
# If B&B had anything to do with the gorgeous Chinese, I think
I'd cry.(Gumdrops)
#Why is abuse so highly regarded in the gymnastics community?
(KeyWest)
#There are no word for how bad this is.
I might have to go on hunger strike or something extreme,
I feel so upset by the prospects of ChinaBots (soapy)
#PLEASE let this not happen...B&B simply
are not the magic bullet that gives a gymnast consistancy.
B&B don't know how to coach clean gymnasts would good form
and amplitude. They only know how to coach crap gymnasts with
hideous form, who don't have to worry about pointing their
toes. B&B would do things like kill all ring leaps and take
out skills like 2 ft layouts...baby He Wei's layout might
be inconsistent, but it is GORGEOUS...the Chinese coaches
are perfectly capable of helping her develop consistency on
their own. They did it with Liu Xuan...(OnoSpin)
#Okay, we all know that Beltyu and Bitchtang control the Romanian
DRAMA QWEEN newspapers, so I'm still not believing this for
a second.
If anything, this makes the rumors less credible, because
there's no way in HELL even USUKK would let B&B touch US gymnasts
with a ten-foot pole, even on the club level.
That's just not happening, so for them to mention that just
screams DRAMA QWEEN ANTIKS. This sentence alone just emphasizes
their DRAMA QWEEN tendencies: Romania's team was disbanded
in August, and BELTYU and BITCHTANG resigned after triple
Olympic gold medallist Catalina Ponor and team mate Floarea
Leonida went to a Bucharest nightclub without their permission.
Who fucking resigns because gymnasts go to a nightclub? B&B
have run out of their conventional methods to get more power
and money from the RGF, so they're having to use new material.(nachtmensch)
#If they do go to China, they won't last 6 months. They have
a better chance in America, which I have a feeling is who/where
they are REALLY negotiating with. This China article is a
cover-story for them to get more money out of the American
club/program that is trying to get them. (Matt)
#I know B&B are a pair of cunts, but they're a fucking successful
pair of cunts. Their gymnasts also have had amazing consistency,
and though I don't believe that its all down to them, it seems
like a good bet that someone in charge somewhere will be willing
to at least try and see if they can inspire the same in another
programme. (chiquitita)
#And there are PLENTY of attention-whore clubs in America
that would hire B&B if they were given the chance. PS: BWAHAHAHAHA!
B&B going to China to only be consultants/coordinators?! That's
what Arkaev did for Greece from '01-'04, and you see how well
that turned out. (xoxo Matt)
#It would definately be a very bad mistake
for the Chinese program. (munchymoo)
