“Faith moves mountains!”
This is the motto that has guided me in life. Those of you who have been following me for some time know that sports have been present in my life since I was taking my first steps.
I am a simple man who has worked very hard to achieve his dreams. I wanted to become a great champion one day.
My love for sports was discovered by my mother and then supported by my whole family. It is the “bug” that has made me today a responsible, independent, open, confident man.
Beginnings..
I remember my first ballet classes, the tens of thousands of hours of aerobic gymnastics and the years I spent at the gymnastics school “Colegiul National Sportiv de la Deva”, the experience at the National Aerobic Gymnastics Lot, the people I had with me all this time, the coaches who encouraged me and trained me, or the voices that told me I was not capable and that I could not do anything worthwhile alone in this life… All this has made me a fighter.
But today I don’t want to talk about beginnings… For those of you entering my site for the first time and want to get to know me better, you can find details about me, the coaches I’ve had and my life here or in older posts.
However, today I want to talk about the 4th Miss Fitness Universe Pro Division title. Fourth… I still can’t believe it!
A few challenges…
A few months ago I got my back stuck. After an MRI I found out that I have a herniated disc. I was upset by the pain and felt like it was holding me back. My schedule had become so crowded that I couldn’t find time to prepare.
For recovery I have only done Cryosauna sessions, which have worked very well, even with the intense effort I put in. For this I thank Noblezza, who adapted to my schedule and always found time and space for me, depending on how I managed to break 10 minutes.
I didn’t let my back problems hold me back. I started planning my contest: I came up with the Zorro theme for the exercise, costume vision and music. Then I asked Bogdan Boanta to help me with the choreography. I always appreciated and admired him for his talent, and after the Bravo Romania project I saw that we make a very good team. He was happy when I asked him to collaborate on the fitness exercise and I thank him for agreeing to share his ideas with me. 🙂
Bogdan you’re the best! Thanks for believing in me!
What should I wear?
The suit I changed in the last week, that was my and my husband’s decision. I admit I was stressed because it was only ready a few hours before we left. But it turned out as I imagined and that’s the most important thing.
Work, work, work, work…
In 6 months I had 1 Weekend Off, I worked so hard that I had reached exhaustion and overtrained before the competition. I stuck to my plan and didn’t complain.
I ended up here in Miami and all I wanted to do was enjoy the scene because I love what I do. All the more reason to do this just for me. Fitness America is the best known Federation with natural athletes and the first to have this Fitness event.
Each test represents a certain percentage of the final mark:
- – 45% Fitness exercise (strength, grace and energy)
- – 45% swimwear (beauty, female musculature and appearance)
- – 10% interview (questions about fitness, health, training, motivation)
Waiting for the result…
I couldn’t believe I won. I said to myself: there are 8 referees from America, 10 competitors from all over the world (3 from Europe and the Nordic countries) the rest from America…. So why would they give me another title?! 🙂
I knew they were all talented, beautiful and prepared. Especially in the professional division when each of us had a taste of success. We come from different sports and that makes this division even more interesting 🙂
When they said “The Winner is Anca Bucur again” I hadn’t even heard it…. I was asking if it was about me… We tremble and dream…
It’s beautiful! It’s unique! It’s wonderful! It’s a blessing!
I am lucky to have a family that has always supported me morally. Thank you mom, dad, sister, brother and husband. You are “my power”!
Thank God!
