simona amanar (romania)

NEWS UPDATE

Simona married Cosmin Tabara on 9th March, 2002, in Timisoara. She gave birth to a baby boy on 20th August, 2002. The baby was 3.8 kg at birth and has been named Alexandru Iosif.

Quote from Simona (late 2002): "I finished college this year, but while going to school I also worked with children at a local school and kindergarten. I did this to gain more experience because I plan to work in the education field. Now, even though I am married and have a baby, I teach at the university where I graduated, Universitatea de Vest and at another university, Tibiscus. I'm also getting ready to start teaching at my kindergarten again. When we went to the US on our honeymoon, I even received a few coaching offers, but I didn't want to stay. One thing's for sure, I still feel comfortable in gymnastics circles. As far as the money I won from gymnastics is concerned, although not a lot, it was enough for me to buy an apartment in Timisoara and start building a house which I hope will be ready for us in time for the holidays."
