qualification to the Tokyo Olympics and will perform in the 100-m backstroke
event. Robert Glinţă also won silver in the 50-meter backstroke race.

The silver went to Ionela-Livia Cozmiuc and Gianina-Elena Beleagă in the lightweight
women’s double-sculls event. The bronze medals were won by the women’s pair,
the men’s pair, the women’s quadruple sculls and the men’s quadruple sculls

kick, and lead 2-1 in extra time after Yann Boe-Kane scored a goal on minute 93.
