What is Romania Most Famous For?

My Romanian friend @vikthor and I talk every day.
When I first saw his picture, I thought he was cute.
By the way, He said he was two meters tall.😦
I was shocked to hear him say it. I am about 183 centimeters tall, and he was about 20 centimeters taller than me.😄

My young friend @vikthor wrote articles on hive every day, and I read his short english sentences every day because they are easy to read.

For an East Asian male like me, @vikthor's English, a non-English speaking person, was easier to understand.

Oregon-based @joeyarnoldvn's English sentences were also easy to read for me, but the American slang was hard to understand.

Perhaps @joeyarnoldvn's English will be easily understood by those who understand American culture, morals, and show business.

I asked @vikthor a question every day, and he kindly answered every day.

I don't understand the Romanian language @vikthor speaks at all, but I did know a little bit about the life he dreams of.
It was difficult for @vikthor, who lives in Romania, to have a conversation with a man who lives in East Asia on the other side of the world.
However, we are still in conversation to this day.
As I spoke with him, I remembered that Romanians were generous and kind!

I wanted to tell @vikthor what I know about Romania.
So, I have now written the work in awkward English sentences.

When I think of Romania, there are some people that come to mind first.

Comăneci at the 1976 Summer Olympics

Nadia Elena Comăneci Conner (born November 12, 1961), known professionally as Nadia Comăneci (UK: /ˌkɒməˈnɛtʃ(i)/, US: /ˈkoʊməniːtʃ, ˌkoʊməˈniːtʃ/,[3][4] Romanian: [ˈnadi.a koməˈnetʃʲ] (listen)), is a Romanian retired gymnast and a five-time Olympic gold medalist, all in individual events. In 1976, at the age of 14, Comăneci was the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10.0 at the Olympic Games.[5] At the same Games (1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal) she received six more perfect 10s for events en route to winning three gold medals. At the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow Comăneci won two more gold medals and achieved two more perfect 10s. During her career Comăneci won nine Olympic medals and four World Artistic Gymnastics Championship medals.

Comăneci is one of the world's best-known gymnasts and is credited with popularizing the sport around the globe.[6] In 2000 she was named one of the Athletes of the 20th Century by the Laureus World Sports Academy.[7] She has lived in the United States since 1989, when she defected from then-Communist Romania before its revolution in December that year. She later worked with and married American Olympic gold-medal gymnast Bart Conner, who set up his own school. In 2001 she became a naturalized United States citizen and has dual citizenship, having maintained her Romanian citizenship.

Perhaps Nadia Elena Comăneci Conner (born November 12, 1961) was the greatest Olympic gymnast.
She is famous for being the first in the world to receive an acting out of 10.
Since the 1960s, the Soviet women's gymnastics team has been the strongest in the world. However, Nadia Elena Comăneci Conner (born November 12, 1961) broke the reputation of the Soviet women's gymnastics team, making her the world's most powerful woman.
Romania was a much smaller country than the Soviet Union, but
in the field of women's gymnastics
It emerged as the most powerful competitor of the Soviet Union.

Silivaș in 1987

Daniela Viorica Silivaș-Harper (Romanian pronunciation: [daniˈela siliˈvaʃ]; born 9 May 1972), is a Romanian former artistic gymnast best known for medaling in every single event at one Olympics, winning six medals (three gold, two silver, and one bronze) at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. In doing so, she was the fourth female gymnast to achieve this, after Maria Gorokhovskaya (1952), Larisa Latynina (1960, 1964) and Věra Čáslavská (1968). As of 2021, Silivaș is the only one athlete, male or female, having accomplished this feat, in the Modern Era of Artistic Gymnastics, in a non-boycotted Olympics (Alexander Dityatin is the single male, who won medals in every event, in Moscow 1980).

Also, Silivaș is the first gymnast in history to win 3 Olympic and World individual titles on three (from four) apparatus: uneven bars and floor (1988 OG, 1987 and 1989 WC) and beam (1988 OG, 1985 and 1989 WC), an achievement equalized only by Simone Biles, 20 years later. She won 16 Olympic and World medals, from which 10 were golds. In 1987, she dominated the European Championships held in Moscow, being medalled on every single event: 4 gold (individual AA, bars, beam and floor) and silver on vault. In her career, she earned 24 perfect 10 scores, from which 7 were earned in Seoul, equalizing 1976 Nadia Comăneci's record.

Silivaș was chosen as one of the "Top Ten All-Around Gymnasts of All Time", in a poll in Inside Gymnastics magazine.[2] She was known for her technical excellence, difficult routines, charming performances, and artistic flair.[3]

In 1989, Silivaș's training was hampered by a knee injury and by the closure of the Deva National Training Center during the Romanian Revolution. She retired in 1991 and moved to the United States, where she is now a gymnastics coach. In 2002, she was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.[4]

I watched on TV the outstanding gymnastic performance of Daniela Viorica Silivaș-Harper (Romanian pronunciation: [daniˈela siliˈvaʃ]; born 9 May 1972) at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

I marveled at how such powerful strength and flexible gymnastic movements could come out of a slender girl's body shape.😲
From the 1970s to the 1980s, there was a time when women's gymnastics in Romania surpassed that of the Soviet Union for a moment.

I was convinced that the little girls in Romania would do fantastic gymnastic moves because they were trained to be harsher than I could have imagined.😲
So, I still remember two Romanian women as representatives of Romania.
Perhaps men in the world I live in will agree with me!
It is a pity that there are currently no world-class female gymnast stars in Romania.

And, the fact that the current Romanian female gymnasts do not have world-class stars made me question.
I wonder if my friend @vikthor knows why?😃

Dear @vikthor, Do you know why there are currently no world stars among female gymnasts in Romania?😄
