I am more proud of this success as I am coming from same place, Turburea, Gorj County, South-West Romania. The area seems to have precious resources for long distance running athletics. Constantina’s colleague, Lidia Simon, who won silver medal of marathon at Sidney Olympic games 2000, comes from same village.
Congratulations!
