For years, Dobre was thought to be the youngest world all-around champion ever, having won her title at the age of 14 years and 352 days, until it was found that Olga Bicherova's age had been falsified at the 1981 World Championships,[2] and that Bicherova had been 13 when she won her title.
Post-retirement
She received an award at the Romanian Gymnastics Federation's 100-year anniversary celebration[3] and was formally recognised as one of the Romanian gymnasts to have scored a perfect 10.[4] In May 2016, she was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.[5]
In 1991, Dobre moved to the United States and in 1992 married Iranian gymnastics coach Boz Mofid. They have four sons who are YouTube personalities: Cyrus, Darius, and twins Lucas and Marcus. Dobre was a choreographer and dance coach at the Dobre Gymnastics Academy in Maryland until 2020, when she decided to retire and close the gym.[5][6][7]
