  more about presacan

Claudia Presacan, albeit not winning any major All-Around title, has been a consistent and dedicated gymnast, contributing to the success of the Romanian gold winning performances in many international competitions.

An injury kept her out of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but she made it to the Sydney Olympics, helping the Romanian team capture the gold medal for team competition and placed fourth for the beam final.

Presacan was the bronze medalist at the 1998 European championships.

Despite having serious anemia, Presacan still went ahead to join her team mates at the Sydney Olympics, but performed well.

Immediately after the Olympics, Presacan retired and went into rowing. She trained as a cox man for a while but stopped after half a year due mainly to disagreement with her club.
