Sporting relatives:

Her sister Amalia Beres has represented Romania in rowing, and placed seventh in women's pair at the 2019 World Championships in Linz-Ottenheim, Austria. (worldrowing.com, 31 Aug 2019; gsp.ro, 23 Nov 2017; SportsDeskOnline, 29 Jan 2020)

Start:

She took up rowing at age 14 in Orsova, Romania. (gsp.ro, 23 Nov 2017)

Reason:

"Rowing coach Mariana Malis came to my school giving out business cards to contact her if I we were interested in the sport. I had no idea what rowing was. I soon forgot about her contact details and found them a month later in a mathematics book. My parents then encouraged me to give it a try. It began from there." (gsp.ro, 23 Nov 2017)

Ambition:

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (gsp.ro, 23 Nov 2017)

Award:

She and swimmer Robert Glinta were named flag bearers for Romania for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (romania-insider.com, 02 Jul 2021)

In February 2018 she received the Alexandrion Trophy as part of the national women's eight rowing team. The award was given to athletes who achieved outstanding performances in 2017. (fundatia-alexandrion.ro, 06 Feb 2018)

TOKYO 2020 SUPPORT
In November 2017 she was named on the 'Samurai 2020' Olympic programme. The programme was set up by the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee [COSR] and offers support to athletes with potential to win medals at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (cosr.ro, 05 Aug 2018)

EARLY DAYS
At age 14 she moved to Orsova, Romania, to begin training at the National Rowing Centre. She then considered quitting the sport after relocating to Snagov, Romania, at age 18 to train with the national youth team. "After four years in Orsova I moved to Snagov to train but contemplated giving up the sport after my first year. I felt it wasn't for me as I wasn't getting the results or medals I wanted. In 2013, when I started to work with Mircea Roman, the results started to come." (gsp.ro, 23 Nov 2017)
