Annaliese Dragan

[2] Along with teammate Andreea Verdes, she was the first Romanian gymnast in 26 years to qualify for the apparatus finals at the World Championships in 2022.

In June she was part of the team that competed at the European Championship in Varna, Bulgaria with teammates Andreea Verdes and Denisa Mailat.

[9] Later in the year, she was also selected for the World Championship in Kitakyushu, Japan, where she ended in 22nd place in the all-around qualification and failed to advance to the final.

In 2022, Dragan became Romania's second gymnast and inaugurated her season with the World Cup in Palaio Faliro, where she qualified for the hoop and clubs final.

[17] Following this dispute, Dragan was removed from the Romanian national team and returned to the United States to continue training.

[18] Dragan posted on her Instagram on January 8, 2025 that she was taking a break from rhythmic gymnastics, which she said was because "over the past Olympic cycle—and especially in the last two years—I found myself in a toxic environment that became increasingly difficult to navigate".

[19] In January 2025, several Romanian rhythmic gymnasts came forward with allegations of abuse against coaches, including Dragan.
