Life

Lavinia Miloșovici comes from a sporty family. The mother Ildiko Miloșovici was successful as a volleyball player, the father Tănase Miloșovici as a wrestler. She started gymnastics at the age of six and quickly moved to the national gymnastics training center in Deva . A scarlet fever at the age of ten years almost ended her career early. During the Romanian Revolution in 1989 the training base was temporarily closed. Since 1990 Miloșovici competed for Romania in international competitions. At the Junior European Championship in 1991 she won gold twice.

Since 1991 Miloșovici also started in the senior sector. In her first season she won the all-round title at the Romanian championships. At the 1991 World Cup in Indianapolis , the Romanian won her first gold medal in jumping and bronze with the relay. In 1992 gold on bars followed in Paris . The 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona were very successful . Miloșovici won gold medals in the jump and on the ground, silver with the team and bronze in the all-around competition. On the floor she was able to get a straight grade ten from all judges. She shared the gold medal in jumping with the Hungarian Henrietta Ónodi . The 1993 World Cup in Birmingham was also successful. The athlete won gold on the balance beam and bronze in the jump. In 1994 there was a gold medal with the team in Dortmund , as well as silver in the all-around and on the ground and bronze in the jump in Brisbane . At the European Championships of the year in Stockholm she won gold with the relay and in the jump, silver on the floor and bronze on the balance beam. Miloșovici won the last gold medal at a world championship in 1995 with the relay in Sabae . Bronze was added in the all-around competition. The high point of 1996 were the Olympic Games in Atlanta , where Miloșovici was not at the height of their capabilities due to injuries. She won bronze in the relay and in the all-around competition. At the World Championships of the Year in San Juan , bronze was added on the ground, at the European Championships in Birmingham, gold with the relay and on the ground and bronze in the all-around event. In the summer of 1997 Miloșovici resigned from competitive sports and returned to Lugoj, where she became a trainer and studied at the Timișoara Sports University .

Lavinia Miloșovici attracted international attention in 2002 when she posed nude for a Japanese magazine with her former teammates Corina Ungureanu and Claudia Presăcan . Shortly afterwards, DVDs were also produced where the three athletes were shown doing gymnastics with a bare upper body , as well as other series of images for the Japanese magazine "Shukan Gendai". Since the three appeared several times in Romania's official national jerseys, all three were banned from the Romanian association as trainers and judges until 2007. The Japanese Junior Gymnastics Federation then refused to admit Romanian female gymnasts for an international competition in Japan.

Miloșovici has been married to a police officer since 1999. The couple's daughter was born in 2004 with an under- Apgar score and passed away on October 12, 2008.
