| [[Elena Horvat]]

| Did she really compete at the [[1971 European Rowing Championships]] and win a bronze medal as a 13-year-old? There's an interesting discussion on the [[:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Geher#Elena Horvat|talk page of her German article]].<br>''Update 2020-03-08:'' User:MisterSynergy asked the SR experts and they are meanwhile reasonably convinced that there are two persons. "Elena Horvat" (from 1985 on "Elena Florea") competed 1981–1985 (including the 1984 Olympic gold medal win), and "Elena Oprea" competed 1971–1980 (including two Olympic participations 1976+1980 without medalling). Horvat (-Florea) was born 1958-07-04 as written in most sources; Oprea might have been born 1953-10-05, but this is not that sure; this would mean that she would have been almost 18 years old at her first appearance in 1971. This data is not yet public, but I think the SR successor website will come up with two profiles.
