Ecaterina Szabo gave an interview to Céline Nony of L’Equipe last spring she talked about her career and training under Karolyis about Romania not qualifying to the Rio Olympics Translated from French by Gaia B She walks forward under the Avergne sun and sits on a bench in the city where she has lived for almost 25 years when she ended her career after the Rotterdam World Championships but can become quite moving when she mentions her childhood Q: It’s so weird to meet you here in France I was still studying when I was contacted by the Chenôve club I was famous – I still am – I had made a name for myself we accepted the Chamalières club managers’ offer Q: Were you planning on staying here for so long but every summer I go back to our hometown of Zagon Q: The European Gymnastics Championships will take place in Romania this year (April 19-23) sixty years after the country hosted the first edition of the women’s championships it will be the perfect opportunity to catch up with my former teammates because that the Romanian school of gymnastics will prove its worth once more – even if I know that the younger generations need time Q: How did you feel when the Romanian teams missed their chance to qualify for the Rio Olympics I trained to prove that I was the strongest and the most beautiful (she smiles sadly) I keep in touch with the girls and the coaches on Facebook and I try to encourage them with a few words and messages but she also got a bronze (on beam) whereas I got a silver (in the all-around) we had been waiting thirty years for someone to do that but she wins because she’s the best in the world she’s the strongest according to the current criteria Q: Americans have won every all-around title at the Olympics since 2000 We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the first one to achieve this result Mary Lou actually sent me a friend request on Facebook I would love to meet her and talk about the Olympics Q: Do you regret losing the all-around title A: My only regret is not becoming a surgeon because I love everything to do with medicine that silver medal is still on my mind: 0.05 points is such a tiny difference I had hidden from the cameras so I could cry But we need to accept defeat the same way we accept victory Q: Did the Romanian regime welcome you back like a hero Except for the Budapest World Championships My mother worked as a picture framer and my father worked in a bus station I was never on the ground; I would always be up in some tree my sister brought me to try different sports I passed a selection and I was admitted to the Onesti gymnastics school Q: That’s the school created by Martha and Bela Karolyi but at the time I wasn’t really aware of it I was too young when she was training for the Montreal games in 1976 What worried me most was the fact that I didn’t live with my parents They came to see me during the weekend; I think we used to go on walks because I have some pictures taken in a nearby park we had a supervisor who would remind us to take a bath and to put our hair in pigtails I didn’t even speak Romanian when I moved to Onesti that meant I had to go to the toilet (she laughs) I felt like I had moved to a different country my name is Katalin – I would really like to figure out what happened with that the Hungarian minority was persecuted in Romania: I think that they changed my name to Ecaterina so that I could represent the country better Q: When did gymnastics become important to you I am capable of going beyond all my limits I started achieving the first really good results during the Junior European Championships the Karolyis took advantage of a tour of the US to defect… We were supposed to meet them in the hall of our hotel in New York – we waited a long time for them but we needed to leave unless we wanted to miss our flight back Q: How was your relationship with the Karolyis Bela could take on every role: he was a friend He could be very strict…But the mentality was different back then Q: Romania had quite the reputation back then… I remember that at the beginning of the season we would go up in the Carpathian Mountains for some heavy physical training the snow…But we knew that if we went beyond our limits You needed to want it in order to accept your life no…I’ve read about what happened in the US I also know that there have been accusations and complaints against the coaches in Romania I really cannot complain about what happened to me I listened and I did my work instead of cheating or gossiping Q: Bela Karolyi has never denied hitting and humiliating certain gymnasts and even more so if he thought they had talent “that’s sometimes necessary in order to succeed in gymnastics”… but I heard coaches being verbally abusive or humiliating certain girls We try everything in order to help somebody express their talent when Daniela Silivas (3) started to emerge and win titles But I loved encouraging the younger girls during training Q: Why didn’t you decide to coach at a higher level A: I preferred to focus on my family and devote myself entirely to them I haven’t had the chance to live with my parents but I couldn’t imagine my life without my boys I’m starting to detach myself a little bit from them A: Not having grown up with my parents is still a terrible thing for me I followed my mother everywhere: I wanted to talk to her and I didn’t have the chance to enjoy them This thought drives me insane; it makes me so mad I have never asked my mother what she thought or what she said when she watched me on TV All of these questions will never find an answer despite having been on every Olympic podium since 1976 nor the men managed to qualify to the Rio Olympics [2] He ruled Romania with an iron fist from 1965 to 1989
