It's not Maricica Puica first Romanian woman wins OLYMPIC medal in track . It's Ilona Silai in 1968 winning silver medal in 800m

[@mugurstefan68]

Seems that Ilona didn t inspired someone...only the Gold from Puică . ..

[@GeoAce777]

I really like what Puica said😌

[@Hever73]

I REALLY LIKED IT WHEN PUICA SAYS THAT IT WAS MARY'S FAULT TRYING TO CHANGE SIDE IT ALL MAKES SENSE!

[@GeoAce777]

Yes considering Puica was there, right behind them

I love these women with marked faces and deep voices. A shame they are so scarce nowadays.

[@mihaimutascu2449]

2022 and we are far from having any top middle distance runners. Unfortunately they did not inspire any coming generations

[@mts7274]

lmao, watch at 1:22 ...the runner in front deliberately widens her stride to trip up the girl to her left!

I guess with the end of state sponsored doping, Europeans forgot how to run, lol.

Doping is one of the saddest things in sports. A victory gained by cheating is not a victory but a total lie. Take the Lahti 2001 cross-country skiing farce for example. All lies will be revealed, such as the secret sauna deal made by the Finnish cross-country men's team - no longer a secret

[@warmygreenfields]

Seems that the west never ended it ;)

How does it feel to be an ignorant stooge? Does it come naturally, or do you work on it?

[@bysonchi]

@@kurtfrancis4621 How does it feel to know that without chemicals, you're as good as the special olympics, or you're still hurt and in denial. Don't despair, chin up.

Its totally allowed in USA and the carrebeans, they never stopped. But in the EU you get tested all the time, they come in the middle of the night, on vacation etc. No chance
