Andreea Chitu will compete in the 52-kg category, Corina Stefan in the 57-kg category and Stefania Adelina Dobre in the 63-kg category. Another two Romanian athletes will be competing in the men’s contest: Alexandru Raicu in the 73-kg category and Daniel Natea in the 100+ kg category.

We move on to news from table tennis. A Romanian pair made up of Ovidiu Ionescu and Bernadette Szocs was knocked out in the mixed doubles quarterfinals at the European Table Tennis Championships hosted by Alicante, Spain. In the round of 16, the two won 3-2 against Luka Mladenovic and Xia Lian Ni of Luxembourg. In the quarterfinals they lost 1-3 to the German pair made up of Ruwen Filus and Ying Han. In the women’s singles, Romanian athletes have all made it to the second round, with the exception of the former European champion Elizabeta Samara, who lost 1-4 to Margaryta Pesotska of Ukraine.




In news from football, let us note that striker Claudiu Keseru scored a goal for his side Ludogorets Razgrad in the game played against Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen, as part of the first round of the Europa League group phase. Ludogorets had a 2-nil lead, but eventually lost 3-2.
