31 athletes will represent Romania at
the European Weightlifting Championships for juniors and cadets due to kick off
in Bucharest this weekend. In the under-20 competition, Romania’s delegation
comprises 12 girls and 11 boys. In the under-23 competition, a total of 8
weightlifters have enrolled, 4 in the women’s competition and 4 in the men’s
competition. Romania’s set objective for this edition is winning at least 5
medals, considering the championship could secure qualification to the Olympic
Games in Tokyo next year. The event will close on October 27. In last year’s
edition of the European Championship, hosted by Zamosc in Poland, Romanian
weightlifters won 20 medals, 8 gold, 4 silver and 8 bronze.


The final round of the National Rally
Championship, TESS Rally, will be held on Friday and Saturday. A total of 8
special races will be held, all in Brasov County, over a total distance of 119
kilometers. Ahead of this round, ranking first in the tables is Valentin
Porcisteanu, racing on a C3 R5 Citroen, with 203 points, followed by Simone
Tempestini, racing on a i20 Hyundai, with 201 points, and Dan Girtofan, driving
a Skoda Fabia R5, with 176 points.


This weekend will also see matches
counting towards the 13th round of the domestic championship. On
Friday, FC Hermannstadt will play FC Voluntari, while Dinamo Bucharest will
take on Gaz Metan Medias. On Saturday, in the round’s highlight match, CFR Cluj
will play Universitatea Craiova. On Sunday, Academica Clinceni will go up

goal-average. Universitatea Craiova is in third place.
