The European Fencing Championships
are underway in Dusseldorf, Germany. Romanian fencers have unfortunately
carried on with their below-par performance. On Friday, in the women’s team
saber event, the Romanian team made of Bianca Pascu, Loredana Dima and Andreea
Lupu conceded a 32-45 defeat to Ukraine, in the first confrontation of the main draw. According to
a message The Romanian Fencing Federation posted on its website, the defeat
sent Romania in the fight for the 9-16 places and at this stage, Romania was pitched
against the team of the Republic of Belarus. Made of Bianca Pascu, Andreea Lupu
and Maria Matei this time, Romanian conceded yet another defeat, 38-45. Then
the match against Georgia brought the Romanians a 45-42 win and the 13th
position according to the final rankings.


The European Games are underway in
Minsk, Belarus, until June 30. The Romanian delegation has competitors for all
15 sports disciplines in the program. These sports disciplines are athletics, 3-by-3
basketball, badminton, boxing, cycling, beach football, artistic, aerobic and
rhythmic gymnastics, judo, kayak-canoe, women’s wrestling, freestyle and
Greek-Roman wrestling, sambo, table tennis, shooting sports and archery.
Counting for the qualification to the 2020 edition of the Olympic Games in
Tokyo are the results in athletics, badminton, cycling, judo, karate, table
tennis, archery and shooting sports. At the inaugural edition of the European
Games held in the Azeri capital city Baku in 2015, Romania’s Olympic team
walked home with 12 medals, of which three were gold, five silver and four
bronze.


Playing for Romania’s Under-21
national team, footballers George Puşcaş and Alexandru Cicâldău have been eyed
by Belgian team Standard Liege, the Romanian Agerpress news agency quoted
Belgian paper La Dernière Heure
as writing. Puscas is currently signed up by the Italian second-tier team
Palermo, while Cicâldău currently plays for Universitatea Craiova. We recall
Standard Liege was 3rd-placed according to the Belgian
championship’s final rankings.
