General Interest

FEMALE FIRST
At the 2017 World Championships, she was part of the first all-female four-person team to compete in the mixed-gender event. With teammates Maria Constantin, Olivia Vild, and Erika Halai, the Romanians placed 30th, the lowest of the teams to complete the three runs, nearly two seconds slower than their nearest competitor. (redbull.com, 21 Dec 2017)

Milestones

Four-time Olympian (Winter Youth Innsbruck 2012, Sochi 2014, PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022).

Competed at seven World Championships debuting in 2013, winning team bronze in 2017, and producing three more top-10 finishes (eighth in 2015 team and 2021 two-woman, ninth in 2015 two-woman).

Two-time two-woman Junior World Championships medallist, winning gold in 2018 and silver in 2019. At eight Junior Championships (2012-20), she has a total of six other top-10 finishes off the podium (two-woman), including one fourth, and a trio of fifths.

Her one World Cup podium finish was in two-woman in 2020 in Sigulda, a second-place result (with brake woman Ioana Gheorghe) that was just 0.02 seconds behind top-finisher Nadezhda Sergeeva (RUS).

Winning the two-woman silver medal at the 2020 European Championships was the first medal for Romania since they received a bronze in the four-man bob in 1992. It was Romania's first women's medal since their inclusion in 2004. In 2019, Grecu (then racing with Teodora Andreea Vlad) finished in fourth, missing the podium by 0.02 seconds.
