1963 – The First Flight
On 16 June 1963, the press reported on the first woman to fly into space. Valentina Tereșkova made history. She remains to this day the only woman to have flown solo in space and the youngest female cosmonaut.
In Romania, in June 1963, a little gymnast from Lugoj took part in the first National Championships for children, taking her flight to great performance, and in just 10 years she was flying on apparatus at the European Championships in London where she won three important medals for Romania.
60 years have passed since the first Camp. National Championships for children – a lifetime dedicated to Romanian gymnastics. Thank you, Alina Goreac.
