Early life and career
Bulimar was one of the most successful junior gymnast of the 2008-2010 Romanian national junior team. During the junior years her highest achievements were the silver medal with the team and the bronze medal on uneven bars at the 2010 European Junior Championships and the silver medal on floor at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. She also placed fourth all around and on floor at the 2010 European Championships.[3][4]
Senior career
Her first senior year was overshadowed by a foot injury that kept her out of the gym for several months.[5] Thus, her debut at a senior competition was postponed for August 2011 at the Romanian National Championships. Here she won bronze on floor and placed fourth all around.[6] After a good showing at two friendly meets in Germany and Great Britain she was selected in the team for the 2011 World Championships. Here, she helped her team place four in the team finals. Individually, she qualified in the eight place in the floor final.[7] Unfortunately, a foot injury prevented her to compete in the finals.[8] She was substituted in the floor finals by teammate Diana Chelaru who placed eight.[9]
