  1. That is not Andreea Munteanu. You have the wrong photo of the 2003 Andreea Munteanu. Different person!!

  2. How is listing international results a "preview"? Also, that's not even close to what Andreea Munteanu looks like. Probably because it's not her. Maybe if you blog about gymnastics, you should know about gymnastics?

    1. It's a preview because it's listing all the info you need to know about to the meet and introducing you to all the gymnasts competing.

      Also that girl in the picture's name is also Andreea Munteanu. So it's an easy mistake. Not the end of the world either.

      Just because I confuse two pictures of girls with the same name, that doesn't mean I don't know about gymnastics.That means I made a mistake (that's understandable) and was in a hurry to post it. Someone informed me a few days ago about the mistake and I just haven't had a chance to change it.

  3. People make mistakes it's what makes us human.
