Aurelia Dobre
Romanian artistic gymnast
Aurelia Dobre (born 16 November 1972) is a former artistic gymnast and the 1987 world all-around champion. She is the 1987 world champion on the balance beam and the bronze medalist on the vault and floor exercise, as well, and scored five perfect 10s at these championships.
Dobre was also a member of the silver medal-winning Romanian teams at the 1988 Summer Olympics[1] and the 1989 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. However, her career was cut short because of two major injuries and a growth spurt.[citation needed]
For years, Dobre was thought to be the youngest world all-around champion ever, having won her title at the age of 14 years and 352 days, until it was found that Olga Bicherova's age had been falsified at the 1981 World Championships,[2] and that Bicherova had been 13 when she won her title.
