When the first child was born, Eliza Oana was convinced that she would give up athletics for good.

‘I quit in 2016 and initially said I don’t want to see sports in my life anymore. But over time, I’ve seen that there aren’t many results, I said let’s try that I’m definitely going to succeed that I’m ambitious,” the athlete told Sports Net.

Eliza returned in March, and in the first competition, the Senior Nationals, finished fourth with a throw of 44.88 meters, while she did not train at all.

Even before the Romanian Internationals, he did not prepare much. “In the week of the Championship in Cluj I think I trained three times, because I had the little one sick. Three days in a row, I’ve only walked around hospitals with her. I woke up at five in the morning to go for tests with her, but I’m not complaining.’

Commute by bus from Cornu to Campina

The sportswoman commutes every morning from Cornu, where she lives, to Campina, where she trains. Sometimes she takes her children with her to training.

“I have a bus in the morning at eight, I wake up around seven o’clock, I go to training and then I have to finish running because at eleven and a half I have a return bus,” eliza Oana explained.

Her husband supports her. ‘He’s happy and proud of me, but he told me I couldn’t do this my whole life. It’s hard enough. I breastfeed the little one, but she always says to me, “Where do you want to throw, where do you want to throw, where do you want to throw so much power, when the kids are sucking you out of power?” the 30-year-old athlete revealed.

I want to do this sport for a long time to come, except for me kids are a priority. It’s hard to take care of everything, but I won’t give up.’
