The Romanian athlete Laura Ilie won the bronze in the 10m air rifle women event of the ISSF World Championship on Saturday in Jakarta, Indonesia. The former European champion got a very good score in the qualifiers, ranking 2nd with 631.4 points, but in the final she came out 3rd, with 260. The gold went to Eszter Meszaros (Hungary), and the silver to Polands Aneta Stankiewicz.



The Australian Open came to a close on Sunday. The winner of the mens competition was Novak Djokovic, and Arina Sabalenka won the womens competition. Of the Romanian participants, the best performance was Elena-Gabriela Ruses. She reached the semi-finals of the womens doubles, together with Marta Kostiuk of Ukraine. They were defeated in the semis by Barbora Krejcikova / Katerina Siniakova (Czech Republic) seed no 1 and winners of this years final as well. But for Ruse and Kostiuk, this was the best performance in a Grand Slam.

The game pitting Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe against FC U Craiova was suspended on 26 minutes by the referee Andrei Chivulete, because of anti-Hungarian slogans chanted by the Craiova fans. It was for the first time that a national football championship match was suspended over extremist slogans. Farul Constanta are top of the tables with 48 points, followed by CFR, with 47. (AMP)
