The women handball sides, which are
representing Romania in the Champions League, started off on the right foot. On
Friday in group C, Romania’s champions SCM Ramnicu Valcea secured a 34-27 home
win against German side Bietigheim. In the same group on Saturday, French side
Brest Bretagne obtained a 35-32 away win against Buducnost Podgorica.






The Romanians will be playing Brest
on Saturday. On Sunday in group B, CSM Bucharest defeated Danish side Esbjerg
24-22 in an away game while the group’s favourite, Russian side Rostov-Don,
outperformed Polish side Perla Lublin 31-21 in a home match. The Russians will
come to Bucharest on Friday to take on the local side CSM.








Unfortunately Romanian athletes
walked away with no medal from the World Athletics Championships held in Qatar.
Alin Firfirica obtained the best result for the Romanian delegation, a fourth
place in the discus throw event, while Alina Rotaru came sixth in the long jump
contest.






The Romanian women’s gymnastics
team ranked 22nd at the World Artistic Gymnastic Championship held in
Stuttgart, and have thus failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo next
year. This would be the second edition of the Olympics the Romanians aren’t attending
after the one in Rio in 2016. Maria Holbura is the only Romanian who has won
her plane tickets to Japan following the results she obtained in the individual
all-round event.






Last weekend saw the games of the
12th leg of the first Romanian football league. Friday saw two
games, FC Botosani versus Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe and Universitatea Craiova
versus Poli Iasi. Both games ended in a one-all draw.








On Saturday, Gaz Metan Medias
secured a 2-1 home win against Academica Clinceni, while the derby in Bucharest
opposing the two archrivals FCSB and Dinamo Bucharest ended in a draw, one-all.
On their own turf, in southern Romania, FC Viitorul secured a 3-1 win against
CFR Cluj.
