From her childhood in Romania to her triumph at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Moceanu's memoir paints a vivid and often heart-wrenching portrait of the sacrifices, determination, and resilience required to achieve Olympic glory.

The Golden Girl with a Tarnished Past

Growing up in poverty-stricken Romania, Moceanu found her salvation in gymnastics. At the age of 14, she defected to the United States and quickly became a rising star in the sport.

Known for her exquisite artistry and breathtaking technical skills, Moceanu helped the "Magnificent Seven" women's gymnastics team win the gold medal at the 1996 Olympics. However, her triumph was overshadowed by a bitter custody battle over her younger brother.

Behind the Perfect Smile

In 'Off Balance,' Moceanu candidly shares the immense pressure she faced as a young athlete. Expectations were sky-high, and the media scrutiny was relentless.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of perfection, Moceanu pushed her body to the limits. But behind her dazzling smile and seemingly effortless performances hid a deep inner struggle with body image and self-doubt.

Haunted by Abuse

Moceanu's memoir also sheds light on a dark secret that has haunted her for decades: the alleged abuse she endured at the hands of former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.

With courage and determination, Moceanu confronts the trauma she experienced and the lasting impact it has had on her life. She speaks out against the systemic abuse that countless young gymnasts have suffered, and she calls for accountability and change.

A Survivor's Journey

'Off Balance' is not just a tale of athletic triumph but also a story of resilience and hope. Through her raw honesty and unwavering determination, Dominique Moceanu inspires readers to persevere through adversity and find light in even the darkest of times.

In the aftermath of the Larry Nassar scandal, Moceanu has emerged as a powerful advocate for survivors of sexual abuse. She has dedicated her life to raising awareness, supporting victims, and fighting for justice.
