Dutch cyclist Alex Molenaar of
Monkey Town – A Block CT has won the 52nd edition of Romania’s
Cycling Tour an event that has recently drawn to a close in Bucharest this past
Sunday. Molenaar’s runner-up cyclist was Russia’s Savva Novikov, of Lokosphinx,
who crossed the finish line 15 second later than the winner. Third-placed was
Czech cyclist Karel Hnik of Elkov Author, who finished the tour 46 seconds
later. Fourth came in last year’s winner, Romanian cyclist Sergey Tzvetkov, who
was only two seconds away from the podium.

In news from boxing, as part of the
ongoing World Boxing Championships hosted by the city of Ekaterinburg in
Russia, in the 81-kilogram category, this past Sunday Paul Andrei Aradoaie defeated
Dutch opponent Artjom Kasparian on points, 3-2. The match secured the Romanian
the qualification to the competition’s round of 16, where Aradoaie is pitted
against Uzbek challenger Dilshobek Ruzmetov on September 17. Paul Aradoaie is the
only Romanian boxer to have remained in the race for a medal. We recall that Marian
Gabriel Schiopu, in the 52-kilogram category, Vasile Suciu, in the 62-kilogram
category and Cristian Razvan Filip, in the 91-kilogram category, were defeated
in their debut matches. 2011 was the year when Romania last won a medal at the
World Championships. We recall that back then in Azeri capital Baku, Bogdan
Juratoni walked away with gold, in the 71-kilogram category.

This past weekend saw the debut of
the World Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan, where a 14-strong Romanian delegation
will fight for a medal. A win in the competition
also secured the qualification to the 2020 edition of the Olympic Games in
Japan. The first five wrestlers in descending order in each category will book their
ticket to Tokyo. At the 2018 edition of the Word Championship held in Budapest,
the Romanian delegation walked home with no medal. We recall that in Paris in
2017, Alina Vuc stepped onto a step of the podium in a world championship.

In news from football, this past weekend saw matches being played, counting towards League One’s 9th-round.
In the southern Romanian town of Giurgiu on Friday, Academica Clinceni held
Astra Giurgiu to a 1-all draw, while in Cluj, CFR thrashed FC Voluntari, 5-nil.
On Saturday, in Ploiesti, Chindia Targoviste held Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe to a
blank draw. On the National Arena in Bucharest, the match pitting Dinamo
against FC Botosani ended 1-all. In the round’s derby, FCSB grabbed a 1-nil
away win against Universitatea Craiova. CFR are at the top of the table, with
20 points, followed by Gaz Metan Medias, with 18 points.
