Sport career

Cosmina was 13 years old when she knew about the weightlifting section in Bacău. She came to the classroom at school where her future coach (George Călin) was conducting a selection. A few days later she had her first day at the gym. Cosmina really liked the atmosphere, how many kids were there, and she decided to take up weightlifting.

George Călin remembered their first meeting with Cosmina:

“There's a school in the neighborhood, where a large number of athletes are selected. I remember even the day when I went for the selection. Among all the students there, she was the youngest, and she was very curious and asked me a lot of questions. I invited her: “Come to the gym to see what it's really about”. She asked me how much I would lift, how I would do various things. And I told her to come to the gym, and she would see. And right from the start, she stood out with her very high receptivity. She learned very quickly, had great mobility and speed, which is exactly what I was looking for. We made a great team right from the start”.

In 2021, Cosmina was one of the most decorated athletes from CSM Bacău, a silver medalist of the European Weightlifting Championships.

In an interview with the Sport Studio channel, Cosmina and George talked about training during the COVID-19 pandemic, the problem with a training facility in Bacău and their plans for preparing for the 2024 Olympics in Paris[4].

After successful performances at the European Championships in 2022 and 2023 in the 45 kg weight category, she moved up to the next weight category, 49 kg.
