Senior career edit
2020 edit
In 2020 Stănciulescu and teammates Antonia Duță, Daniela Trică, and Silviana Sfiringu turned senior. In May the FRG announced that Stănciulescu, Sfiringu, and Maria Holbură were moving to Izvorani, Romania to train with Liliana Cosma and Nicolae Forminte.[14]
In December Stănciulescu was selected to represent Romania at the European Championships alongside Duță, Sfiringu, Trică, and Larisa Iordache. During the team final, Stănciulescu fell twice on uneven bars to earn a 9.800, Romania's lowest score that day. Romania won the silver medal, narrowly finishing behind Ukraine. Individually Stănciulescu finished fifth in the vault final.
2021 edit
In 2021 the Romanian team camp was moved to Bucharest in order to "create a better team spirit" and provide better medical care.[15]
Ioana was selected to compete at the 2021 European Championships where she would have a chance to qualify herself a nominative berth to the 2020 Olympic Games. However she and Silviana Sfiringu were later replaced due to injury.[16]
The executive committee of FRG reunited in May 2021 and voted to restructure the WAG team training. Duță and Stănciulescu decided to train in Bucharest with Iordache and Holbură (with coaches Lulu and Cristian Moldovan).[17]
