Daniela Silivaş

Daniela Silivaş, known in full as Daniela Viorica Silivaş-Harper and born on 9 May 1972 in Deva, is a Romanian former artistic gymnast, best known for medaling in every single event at one Olympics: six medals, three gold, two silver and one bronze, at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. As of 2024 she is the last gymnast, male or female, to have done so. She began gymnastics at six, was coached by Béla Károlyi for six months before his defection in 1981, and was Romanian junior national champion in 1981 and 1982. She won 16 Olympic and World medals, ten of them gold, earned 24 perfect 10 scores, seven of them in Seoul, and dominated the 1987 European Championships in Moscow. A knee injury and the closure of the Deva training center during the Romanian Revolution hampered her in 1989; she retired in 1991, moved to the United States as a gymnastics coach and was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2002.
