Ploiesti
Inter (?)national Championships-the Training Camp edition:-))
 It
wasn't that much an International Contest, rather an International
Training Camp. Including nights escapades, drinking alcohol
and cheerleaders ... on the knees.

Floarea Leonida, the 2005 Star of the Team; her 15 minutes
of fame came at Ploiesti, but you never know...
Catalina-Bubulina*. We (used to) like and support Catalina
as athlete. Too much praises (especially from some Romanian
tabloids like ProSport or Jurnalul), with no critics regarding
her last six months attitude on the overweight (and discipline)
can bring bad results at Worlds. I'm pretty sure that Belu
will print and handle this to her, maybe somebody can wake
her up (or remind that in few weeks she can be send home again-and
kiss good-bye the World comp. and her increased/ almost doubled
monthly income).
*Bubulina is the Romanian popular word for
chubby/rotund/plump

right:all those rumors among fans about her twisted legs
and bad form at floor...TVR2 made even a reply on this mistake
of Catalina; maybe the program director want to be fired or
commit professional suicide, who knows (no, we didn't bribed
him...he had offered to to it voluntarily, ha-ha!, maybe he
don't like the fake legend about the World's Best Coaches
-B&B's). Instead of dragging Catalina last autumn at many
paid "conte$sts", Belu should have worked with her
and try do something about this bad form.
These are just few of the many screen captions which have
had flowded other gym forums Saturday night-some Romanian
gymnastics fans have like three eyes and can't be lured as
Belu did past years with most of the
k-i-@ local journalists.
Some kiss-in-the ass (exclusive) tabloids
should be sold with a warning label (like on cigars): "reading
only kiss-in-the ass tabloids is bad for your form."
Also staying too much and too close to Mrs.Bi...; you know
how bad liar she is, from her Court (memorable) appearance,
when most of newspapers, including the k-i-a ones, have reported
about this.
Now, Catalina-Bubulina is taking this (bad) example, too.
She said in front of Romanian National (State) TVR2: "I
still have a little problem (smiling) with the weight".
Depend on what she understand by "little"-like 5,
5 kilos? (somehow we manage to hear about the real one).
Maybe they need to use in Romanian gymnastics the method used
in box games: a live TV weight test before contest; if you
don't match the necessary weight, you don't compete (and don't
receive the monthly cash income from ROC). No begging, no
bad words, nothing more.
The Romanian State TV channels (TVR1, TVR2, TVRi and Cultural
one) are funded by the State, from all taxpayer's money, because
a special tax is still enforced (like in the communist years)
to everybody. So, when Catalina is lying (with a smile face)
people from Romania, about her weight, somebody need to explain
her that: her accommodation on the National Team and her monthly
income (a good one according to local standards) is paid by
taxpayers; the TVR2 who broadcast the circus edition of Ploiesti
contest is funded also from State money. Same State which
does not have enough money to support State hospitals (Romania
having the highest rate of children dying at born in Europe).
A little bit more respect from Catalina , for those money
spend by the State on her training, would be nice. Romania
is the second poorest European country, but gave the highest
benefit package (life time) to their gymnast. Less time in
discos and more on reading, Catalina! Even the previous learned
patterns, learned as a poem, her "press answers"
sound so 80's when all the girls were instructed what to answer
and they could give answers only to what they have learned.
Catalina has shown a super-wheigt,
not a super-form, as much as I was seriously thinking to set
up my TV to the "panoramic view"-just to be sure
the screen will fit her increased body.
 Sofronie
made (many of) us to close the eyes, after seeing her bleeding
hands -that TV program badly needed to have the "parental
consent" because of the horror-alike images. Somebody
must fill an official complain to the "Colegiul Medicilor"
(the Romanian medical Governing Authority).
A whole world-via web- could saw a girl from THE NATIONAL
TEAM-Sofronie- which remove by herself the palm skin, using
an ordinary, not a "surgeon quality" scissors which
apparently wasn't even disinfected; this should be done by
a doctor, in the cloackroom, not in a gym hall full of microbes.
 The
lady who still...pretend to be the Women's team medical assistant
(her main job for her being to check the girl's weight and
to obey 110% the B&B's orders and...*maybe* to spy the
girls) should be dismissed by letting the girls doing this.
And having her medical license canceled.The TV captions, with
Sofronie doing by her own the "treatment" speaks
for itself.
 When
Iolanda will give you a nephew, Mr.Belu, will you let her
cut by herself the boy/girl navel belt with an ordinary, bookshop,
scissors? (in the street, eventually?) Just wonder.Treat these
girls like your own, at least these last months at the team-both
for them and you - and everybody will help/support you to
have a nice end of your (too long) carrer. They need to work
hard, but as hard they train, as much care we need to show
them.
Ploiesti- the (Inter?)national Training Camp
It doesn't look as a real international contest. At all.
From the athletes who came-those which never make it to first
six in any serious contest, to the Romanian delegation itself.
It looks more like a training camp, an International one.
Looks like: a) the RGF don't have really good juniors to send
at Ploiesti or b) maybe they don't want to "deliver"to
B&B the girls from Junior team, to keep them "fresh"after
the dismantling of the present team; c) they want to keep
the juniors team out of bad habits of present Senior team
(dancing instead training, boyfriends and so on).
The Ploiesti audience have had many
opportunities to laugh (maybe some encouragement would be
nicer, but...) at some repeatedly fallings down of some foreign
gymnasts; we know that Chinese girls almost like to fall,
but never saw before a Russian one (Alina Zmeu) falling twice
on Floor, right at 90 degrees, on her bottom-at least she
was so cute doing this! Looks like she wanted to plant some
seeds and need to bury them deep, using her @ss to have the
ground stamped/trodden. Apart from this, she have had one
of the most beautiful artistic on the floor.
Missing Bitang?.
With Catalina-Bubulina and Floarea being heavily overscored
at Ploiesti, we can say that Ploiesti have their version of
the US "Scam Cup". At least for this, we feel like
missing coach Bitang, which have asked last year (bravo!)
the Ploiesti referees to slow down with the overscores, because
this way they don't help at all the girls from the Olympic
Team. This year, with no Bitang to remind them...they heavily
overscored.
Ploiesti ending the 2... years tradition?
The recent success of the Ploiesti local basket team (Assesoft)
in the European Cup made them being jerks with gymnastics.
After
hosting the International Gymnastics Championships for more
than 20 years, now the jerks officials of local basket team,
with their minds being drunk after the recent success (their
team is the new European winner), they don't want the gym
any more. Due to the Gymnastics contest, they were forced
to play last weekend game in another place, in not so nice
conditions. Well, gymnastics have brought a lot of glory to
Ploiesti and money -from the State, RGF, tourists, athletes
and so on. We strongly suggest the RGF, ROC and mostly to
ANS to check how the hell those idiots from Assesoft act like
they have build the hall and decide who can use it? It's a
State property, which they use in conditions...to be checked
closely by ANS. The owner of that basket team (all our sympathy
for the players and their achievements) was under investigation
after having a 1 million dollars or so contract (with no auction,
as law request), to made the maps of Ploiesti streets available
on digital (for
a short resume on one of their dirty affairs, click here).
Two years after receiving the money, the only things they
did was to "start working at the project". Now they
have started to build local connections and influence over
the basket team (which is supported from money coming from
"business" like the one above).
This is one of many cases when you see how corruption can
have a bad influence over sport in Romania . If you look at
the videos from Ploiesti, you may see some too thin, low quality
blue curtains (on the upper windows). Previous curtains (we
know better that place than the young selfish moron who pretend
to rule it now) were quality, imported curtains who could
completely block the sun, when needed (in the summer is too
hot and no air conditioned). Now they have the thin blue ones,
who barely block the light, not to speak about the heat, generously
marked with their "Assesoft" logo- free advertising
at all TV aired programs ; smells like corruption to me (to
those which have accepted the *deal*). If the idiot really
wanted to do something, they could pay for a new air cooling
system. You can see in the videos, some officials using fans
because the air was hard to breath on Sunday.
Now they act like the owners of the hall and were pissed of
because the gymnastics have used the hall, "their hall".
Isn't any good journalist at Gazeta (because there is no other
good sport newspaper there) to look deeper into this affair?
Belu-the driver
We have heard about this last year, but couldn't believe.
How stupid can somebody be to pretend Belu to ...drive the
car (the minibus donated by ARDAF) which is used by the team?
RGF have said that the monthly bill for the team is 500 millions
lei; they could to find 15 millions extra to pay a driver,
instead of asking the main coach to do this. His job is to
take care of girls, in the gym and around it, not to act as
a driver! He can be tired after training or a contest and...
God forbid! something wrong may happen anytime.
If this may occurs, be sure that Romanians will lynch all
the morons from RGF and ROC which didn't take care of this
matter; a good idea would be to do this...in advance, to prevent
anything wrong being happen.
The Party
Friday evening, a small party was made on
a famous local bar & disco in Ploiesti, "L'Opera
Club".
Among the VIP's which have attended, the RGF officials (who
were pretty decent and also have ignored the gymnasts bad
behavior) and top gymnasts. Marian Dragulescu was the
one who made the show, like many times before. Despite being
a dad at home (he have a daughter-Beatrice Maria, with his
"official girlfriend" Larissa/sorry for her), Dragulescu
is a very nasty boy when he go out in town.
He did liked to drink and tested many things on menus-Tuborg
beer , Befeater gin and the Stalinskaya vodka (even after
a day rest, he have failed on Sunday at floor, scoring only
8.925). He *scored* much better in the bar, kissing heavily
and touching (almost...ok, you need to have 18 to read more)
with...five (!) different girls. One of his "favorites"
girls have left, after seeing how he pass from one girls to
other. He didn't seems to be suffering more than...30 seconds
or something, until he have started kissing with another one.Two
of the girls told to the
romanian-gymnastics.com sources that they are members of the
cheerleaders team of the local basket team (European Champion
Team, a recent success which have made the town crazy about
their team). At least one of the girls (but a second one was
pretty close) have escorted Marian out from the bar, leaving
in an unknown direction.He arrived at the hotel after 3,30
in the morning.
Dragulescu was also filmed very...sexy last November in a
Prahova Velley bar, dancing more like a boy from Full Mony
bar than a top gymnast who need to be decent.
Also on the disco bar were Corina Ungureanu,
the "Playboy girl"and Maria Olaru, but they just
have some cocktails and enjoy the dancing.
Along with Dragulescu was...the second coach
Lucian Sandu; but he didn't do anything wrong, or maybe he
could not have much success on girls, so nothing to blame
on him...apart from taking back (in the press, he wouldn't
dare in front of a Judge) his Court statements in Petrovschi
case, when he have admitted that all medical records went
to B&B's at Deva, too. He tried later to reverse in the
press his official statement, easy to guess why.
