Gabriela Drăgoi (born August 28, 1992, in Buzău, Romania) is a Romanian artistic gymnast. She is an Olympic bronze medalist and a European gold medalist with the team. Individually, she is a European bronze medalist on balance beam.
Drăgoi began gymnastics at the age of four at CSS Buzău, training under Costică Cliniciu and 1976 Olympic silver medalist Gabriela Trușcă (now Gabriela Robu). In 2007, she placed fourth in the all-around at the 7th Lugano International Trophy and eighth all-around, sixth on vault, eighth on uneven bars and fourth on floor at the 27th International Junior Competition in Yokohama.
Drăgoi's first major international competition was the 2008 European Championships, where she competed in the team finals after Cerasela Pătraşcu injured her foot during qualifications. Drăgoi helped the Romanian team win the gold medal by competing on vault (14.225) and uneven bars (14.600).
At the 2008 Romanian Nationals, Drăgoi placed first on beam, ahead of the more experienced Steliana Nistor. She also placed seventh in the all-around and sixth on vault, and was selected—along with Nistor, Sandra Izbaşa, Andreea Grigore, Andreea Acatrinei, and Anamaria Tămârjan—to be a member of the Romanian team at the 2008 Olympic Games.
At the Olympics, Drăgoi helped Romania qualify in fourth place to the team finals by competing on uneven bars (14.225), beam (15.450), and floor (14.250). Her score on floor was the lowest among her teammates and was not counted. However, her score on beam was the highest, and she qualified to the beam final in seventh place. In the team final, she helped Romania win the bronze medal by competing on the uneven bars (14.425). Individually, she placed fifth in the beam final with a score of 15.625.
