Talk:Andreea Răducan

Does her last name have a tilde over the a or a hacek? Both appear in the text; which is right? grendel|khan 19:36, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)


 * I've always seen it spelt R&#259;ducan, with the há&. However, I'm not Romanian, so I hesitate to say anything authoritative here.  Googling it, I do see a few instances with the tilde, but the hacek seems much more common.  I will modify all of the instances in the article to use the &#259;, and switch to the wrongtitlediacritic template instead of simply wrongtitle.  Please post any information here if it turns out that a different spelling is actually correct.  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:10, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * It's written with a breve, like this: &#259;. --gcbirzantalk 18:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

POV edits
I removed this section from the article:

''This was the first controversy. Had Khorkina hit all four routines and been given the same scores as in the preliminary rounds, she would have beaten Raducan. It can reasonably be assumed that the incorrect vault setting contributed to her fall there, but less certain is what role this mistake played in Khorkina's subsequent mistake. Bars were Khorkina's speciality, but she had fallen on them in the team finals-perhaps she would have done so again even without the vault fiasco, perhaps not. Khorkina's preliminary scores illustrate that she would probably have won had she again produced performances of such quality, but she was generally less consistent than Raducan and it is impossible to know whether her feelings after falling on vault contributed also to the error on bars. Nonetheless, Raducan received the highest combined score of any athlete and was crowned Olympic all-around champion, the first Romanian to hold this title since the great Nadia Comaneci.''

This seems to be nothing more than original research, speculation and POV. I think if we were to look at any of the Olympics or World competitions, we could probably come up with some great "what if" scenarios for every single set of results. It doesn't add anything to the article, and since it wasn't a direct, down to the wire battle as, for instance, Silivas vs. Shushunova in 1988 or Comaneci vs. Davydova in 1980, I don't think any of this belongs here.

Pseudoephedrine is no longer a banned drug. But the committee does not retroactive medals so they still will not acknowledge Andreea Raducan as the winner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.156.161.27 (talk) 21:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Pseudoephedrine is banned again as of 2010, so it's not relevant. 64.72.65.120 (talk) 05:23, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
