Vanda Hădărean

Vanda Maria Hădărean (born 3 May 1976 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania) is a retired Romanian artistic gymnast who competed in international events between 1990 and 1993.

[10] She also coaches, trains, provides consultation services to gymnasts and fitness models under the brand name “Inspired by Vanda”.

Hădărean began gymnastics at the age of five, after a local coach spotted her talent and potential while she was playing in the park.

[12] During her senior career she was often overshadowed by many of the other strong Romanians of her time such as Lavinia Miloșovici, Cristina Bontaș, and Gina Gogean.

[6] For example, at the 1992 Olympic Games Hădărean placed eleventh in the qualification for the all around event behind Bontaș, third, Miloșovici, fourth, and Gogean, seventh.

At the age of 24, she returned to Canada in early November 2000, and began coaching at Mountain Star Gymnastics in Hamilton again.

In mid-2001 she began a new coaching position at Tumblers Gymnastics Centre in Ottawa, Canada's capital.

[21] Currently Hădărean coaches and trains through her signature “Inspired by Vanda” programs at Soma Health and Fitness Ottawa Canada.
