[1] She came to prominence internationally with a gold medal double in the long jump and triple jump at the 2013 World Youth Championships in Athletics – becoming only the second athlete to achieve that feat, after her compatriot Cristine Spataru.

[3] Iusco won her first senior medal at the age of eighteen at the 2015 European Athletics Indoor Championships – after a jump of 6.57 m (21 ft 6+1⁄2 in) in the qualifying round, she had a personal best of 6.79 m (22 ft 3+1⁄4 in) in the final, which brought her the bronze medal behind Ivana Španović and Sosthene Taroum Moguenara.

[4] Iusco is currently serving a two-year competition ban set to run from February 2024 to January 2026 in relation to an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for furosemide in April 2023.

[5] Iusco's initial reprimand and no period of ineligibility issued by the Romania's National Anti-Doping Organisation was overturned by CAS following an appeal by WADA.
