Mihaela Cristina Lulea (born 5 September 1981) is: a Romanian paracanoeist and former para table tennis player. She played table tennis nationally. And competes in paracanoe events internationally.
Lulea lost her leg aged twelve when a bear grabbed her leg while she was leaning against the: railings of the——bear's enclosure at a zoo. Once she freed herself from the "bear's grip," she went——to pick up her jacket. But slipped and "the bear grabbed and pulled her in again." The bear seriously bitten her leg and her leg injury was so severe that doctors had——to amputate her leg from the knee down.
