Romania’s
handball team drew 33-all in the match played away from home against Austria in
preliminary group 2 of the 2022 European Championship. Romania controlled the
game in the first half and had a five-goal lead at halftime, 16-11. Austria had
a spectacular comeback after the halftime break and evened the odds and
actually took the lead. Shortly before the final whistle, Austria was leading
32-29, but Romania upped its game and made it 32-all. Austria scored 12 seconds
before full time. In the last second, however, with one player short after the
red booking shown to Alina Ilie, Romania scored the final goal to tie the score
33-all. Bianca Bazaliu scored the goal and was Romania’s top scorer in the game
with 11 goals overall. Also on Sunday, Denmark defeated the Faeroe Islands
39-19, also away from home. Denmark is ranked 1st with 4 points,
followed by Romania with 3 points, Austria with 1 point and the Faeroe Islands
with zero points. Romania will play the next features at home, in March,
then it will take on Denmark away from home. The top two teams in each group
qualify to EURO 2022, a tournament that will be hosted by Slovenia, North
Macedonia and Montenegro in November, 2022.



Romania won
five gold medals and one silver medal at the European Under-21 Rowing
Championships hosted by Munich, Germany. Romanian rowers climbed onto the
highest step of the podium in the women’s double-scull, men’s double-scull,
women’s four, women’s quad-scull and the men’s eight events. The silver medal
went to the women’s eight crew.



At the
tennis tournament in Indian Wells, totaling 8.1 million dollars in total prizes,
Simona Halep on Sunday was ousted in the third round by Aliaksandra Sasnovich
of Belarus (100 WTA), 7-5, 6-4. The Romanian bowed out after 1 hour and 38 minutes
of play. In the second round Sasnovich knocked out Romanian-born Emma Răducanu,
this year’s winner at US Open. Another two Romanian tennis players were
eliminated in the third round. Sorana Cîrstea lost 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 to Ukraine’s
Elina Svitolina, while Irina Begu lost to Shelby Rogers of the United States,
6-0, 6-2. These were Romania’s last representatives in the women’s singles. (VP)
