1980 and the Olympic Games edit

Her senior debut in an international event was at the 1980 Italian-Romanian meet where she placed first with the team and second all-around. Her participation at the 1980 World Cup in Toronto brought her a bronze medal on vault.[4] She also placed fourth all around ahead of teammate Emilia Eberle, fifth on floor and eight on balance beam.[6][7] Together with Nadia Comăneci, Rodica Dunca, Emilia Eberle, Melita Ruhn and Dumitriţa Turner, Grigoraş was a member of the silver medal team at the 1980 Olympics.[8] At these Olympic games she did not compete in any individual final event.[9][10]

At the 1981 European Championships in Madrid, Spain, Grigoraş medaled in all events except the balance beam.[4] She won silver in the all around behind Maxi Gnauck,[11][12] gold on vault, silver on uneven bars, bronze on floor and she placed eighth on beam.[13] Her results in the all around and the events finals were the highest among her team members.[12][13] In 1981 she also won the Champions All Trophy[14] and was a team member at the 1981 World Championships in Moscow. At these World Championships she placed fourth with the team and fifth in the all around and uneven bars events.[4] Once again her result in the all around was the highest among the Romanian team.[15]

In 1982 Grigoraş did not compete at all.[4] She returned to gymnastics events in 1983, but she was only an alternate in the team at the 1983 World Championships.[16] In 1984 she won several medals for all around at some minor international events.[4] In 1984 Grigoraş went with the team to Los Angeles to compete at the 1984 Olympic Games.[17] The other members of the team were Lavinia Agache, Laura Cutina, Simona Păucă, Mihaela Stănuleţ, and Ecaterina Szabo.
