	Simona Amânar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simona Amânar (born October 7, 1979 in Constanţa) is a Romanian gymnast.
		Simona was in the running to medal, or even win the all-around title, after her powerful floor routine and huge vaults put her in the lead after two rotations.
		Though Simona was certainly not heralded as a graceful athlete, she was enormously powerful and praised for her ultra-clean form (the latter of which seemed to abandon her in later years and drew much criticism).

		Amanar is coming off a strong showing at the world championships, where she led Romania to the team title and earned two individual silver medals (in vault and floor exercise).
		Her silver in the vault was a bit of a letdown, as the event is her specialty; she won it at both the 1996 Olympics and 1997 world champions.
		Because of a mishap on the uneven bars, Amanar finished a disastrous 14th in the all-around at the '99 world championships.

		Mechanically, though, she was a wonderful gymnast, as is Simona Amanar.
		I was lashing > out at Amanar's lack of charisma, at which the coach sighed wearily, said > 'FAN TALK!' and declared Amanar was the best gymnast he'd ever seen, and > that he'd positively love to work with her.
		And the idea that Amanar is a complete gymnast after watching her on beam is laughable.
