The Romania women's national artistic gymnastics team represents Romania in FIG international competitions.

History[]

Romania won team competition bronze medals at the 1956 and 1960 Summer Olympics. They found major success in women's gymnastics starting in 1976. At that year's Olympics, Nadia Comăneci made history, leading Romania to the team silver medal, winning the individual all-around gold medal, and becoming the first woman to score a perfect 10. She scored seven 10s during the Games and subsequently became the most famous gymnast in the world. Romania built on that and for years was the second-best country in women's gymnastics, after the Soviet Union. With Comăneci, they also won the gold medal at the 1979 World Championships and the silver medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics.

In the mid to late-1980s, the team was led by future Hall of Famers Ecaterina Szabo and Daniela Silivaș. They won gold at the 1984 Olympics and silver at the 1988 Olympics. Romania then had their greatest period of success in the 1990s. The team featured three Hall of Famers during that decade: Lavinia Miloșovici, Gina Gogean, and Simona Amânar. They won silver at the 1992 Olympics, bronze at the 1996 Olympics, and gold at the 1994, 1995, 1997, and 1999 World Championships. In 2000, they won their second Olympic team gold medal, and Amânar won the individual all-around title.

Romania continued their success into the 2000s and won another Olympic gold in 2004. However, since then, they have not finished higher than third at the Olympics or Worlds. Their run as one of the sport's top countries ended when they did not qualify for the 2016 Olympics team competition.

Overview[]

At the Olympic Games, Romania has competed in the women's artistic gymnastics team competition 15 times. The team has won 12 medals, including gold medals in 1984, 2000, and 2004.[1] Romania has also won the women's team competition seven times at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
