Angela had the meet of her life in the USA, exceeding Belu's
expectations - not an easy thing to do! Her floor exercise,
performed to Axel f (theme from Beverly Hills Cop), hinted
of the originality that had been missing in much gymnastics
for some time.
Her performances paid off, and she was assigned to several
important competitions later that year including grand prix
events and the Goodwill Games. Angela's only individual medals
were won at the 1994 Swiss Cup (1st BB, 2nd V) and 1994 Rome
Grand Prix (2nd AA).
In late 1994/early 1995 a serious bout of pneumonia took her
out of competition for some time, after which she was never
able to regain competitive form. She retired, a great shame
because her routines were anything but stock.
Unlike many of her former teammates, Angela remained in Romania
for many years. She's spotted at many local competitions,
including the 2000 Romanian International, at which she sported
jet black hair - quite a different look from her competitive
days!
Angela is now married to a fellow Romanian. The couple live
in Italy.
