GOLDEN GOGEAN
Consistancy Counts
Gina Gogean is a quiet person. She doesn't show her emotions a lot and once her coach, Octavian Belu said "If Gina smiles once a week, that is alot!". Her incredible streak of competition spanned from the 1989 Junior International through the 1998 World Cup. Although she considers taking over the National Team at Deva one day, she is still learning about the sport at the University of Timosoara
