Career
Pascu's first sport was handball.[3] She took to fencing at age 10 after a fencing coach from CSM Brașov went to her school and noticed the sport would suit her well.[3] In 2007, she transferred to CS Dinamo Bucharest, where she was trained by Alexandru Chiculiță.[4]
In 2008, Pascu won the silver medal both in the individual and the team events of the Junior European Championships in Ghent. She also earned silver at the 2011 Summer Universiade in Shenzhen, after being defeated in the final by Ukraine's Olha Kharlan.[5] In the World Championships at Catania that same year, she had to forfeit her bout against Germany's Stefanie Kubissa in the table of 64 after she ruptured her knee ligament.[citation needed] After three operations in a row, she qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but lost the first preliminary round bout to China's Zhu Min, with a score of 10–15.[6] In the 2013 World Championships at Budapest, she defeated Julieta Toledo of Mexico in the table of 64, but stumbled against Ukraine's Halyna Pundyk.
She won bronze at the 2017 European Championships.[7]
