We begin with the latest from rowing. As part of the European
rowing championships held in Poland’s Poznan, the Romanian double sculls crew
made of Cătălin Chirilă and Victor Mihalachi this past Sunday won the bronze
medals in the 1000m race. The German and Russian boats were the only ones to
have succeeded to overtake Chirila and Mihalachi. The two Romanian rowers have
also booked their tickets for the Tokyo Olympics.


In news from women’ s boxing, the Romanian Maria
Claudia Nechita this past Sunday secured her ticket for the Tokyo Olympics, in
the 57-kilogram category. Nechita reached as far as the semifinals of the
pre-Olympic tournament in Paris this past Sunday. In the quarter-finals, Maria Claudia nechita defeated
Turkey’s Aycan Guldagi,
5-nil. Only one Romanian boxer has
qualified for the Tokyo Olympics apart from Nechita. His name is Cosmin
Garleanu and he fights in the 52-kilgram category.


The World Cup in Artistic Gymnastics held in Cairo saw
Romanian gymnast Larisa Iordache walking away with gold in the beam event. Larisa
had 13.366 points. Following the Romanian were Ukraine’s Dyana Varinska and
Zeyna Ibrahim of Egypt. On Saturday Larisa Iordache won silver in the uneven
parallel bars event.


In news from football, this past Sunday the national
team of England secured a 1-nil win in the friendly match they played against
Romania. England’s Marcus Rashford scored from the spot on 68 minutes. A second
penalty kick was granted to the host team in minute 78, but the Romanian goalie
deflected the ball shot by Jordan Henderson. England had upper hand for the
most part of the game and wasted a couple of other scoring opportunities. The
Romanian line-up put on a lack-luster performance on the pitch and we’ve sadly
got used to that as of late. Unfortunately, it was the fourth defeat in a row
for the Romanian national team. We recall that before this past Sunday’s
confrontation, England had never before defeated Romania on home turf.
