Ecaterina Szabo (Hungarian: Szabó Katalin) (born January 22, 1968 in Zagon, Covasna County, Romania) is a Romanian gymnast of Hungarian origin, who won multiple world and Olympic medals. Although perhaps most notable for winning the all-around silver in the 1984 Olympics after an epic clash with Mary Lou Retton of the US, Szabo won gold medals in all three of the individual events (vault, balance beam (tie), and floor exercise) for which she qualified during those games. Also led her team to the world title at the 1987 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, defeating the USSR in the team competition for only the third time in the history of the competition. In 2000. Szabo was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. [1]
