The record lists Angelica Rozeanu as Romanian table tennis player (1921–2006).

In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the ETTU Hall of Fame (2015), ITTF Hall of Fame (1995) and International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame (1981).
