Best Romanian Uneven Bars Routines Since Their Decline on the Event in the 90s

In the 70s and 80s, the Romanians had many great bar workers like Nadia Comaneci, Teodora Ungureanu, Emilia Eberle, Ecaterina Szabo, Lavinia Agache, Aurelia Dobre, and Daniela Silivas. However, after Belu and Bitang took over in the 90s most Romanian gymnasts were powerful tumblers and consistent all arounders, but weak bar workers. IMO these are the best Romanian bar workers since then.

Oana Petrovschi was the 2002 World silver medalist on bars. She had a really nice layout gienger and Fabrichnova. I chose her routine from semi finals over the final because she didn’t catch close and have a dead hang on her toe on shoot. Plus she stuck her Fabrichnova :D

Daniela Sofronie was by far the best bar worker on the 2004 Romanian Olympic team. She had a lovely 1.5 stalder + jaeger and ezhova. She also made event finals.

Steliana Nistor had a huge 7.3 d score in 2008 and scored 16.15 in the 2008 Olympic team final. Her routine would still be worth a lot in the next COPs (6.4 in the 2009-2012 COP, 6.3 in the 2013-2016 COP, and 5.8 in the 2017-2020 COP).

Ana Porgras was the last Romanian medalist on bars at the Worlds or Olympics with her bronze medal in 2009. Though I think the routine she did at Romanian Nationals is better than her routines at Worlds because she doesn’t finish the inbar 1/1 super late like she usually does. She did some very rare skills for Romanians on bars like the ono (not in this routine but it was in her 2011 euros routine), inbar, and inbar 1/1.

This is Larisa’s best bar routine of all time imo. Shout out to the Japanese coverage for being the only ones to show this routine. It has a 6.3 d score and combos like her stalder 1/1 + van leeuwen and church + pak. She even scored higher than Simone and Kyla on bars that day.
