Struggling with health problems she was not at her full physical potential at the 2009 European Championships. However, she managed to qualify second all around, second on beam and fifth on floor. She failed to medal in the all around event due to a fall during the floor exercise. She placed fifth all around, won silver on balance beam and placed fourth on floor. Later that year she competed at the 2009 World Championships where she qualified only in the all around final. She ended her second world championships experience by placing ninth all around. After her return to Romania she underwent surgery to both knees with little chances of making a comeback at the 2010 European Championships. Due to health problems she retired in June 2010. She enrolled the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports in Bucharest.
