During a news
conference on Thursday Andreea Raducan announced her intention to step down
from the position of president of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation after
Romania had blown its chances to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo next
year. Romania will only be represented by Marian Dragulescu in the vault event
and Maria Holbura in the individual all round contest. A former Olympic and
world champion, Raducan occupied the aforementioned position since august 2017.






Dinamo
Bucharest’s saber fencer Bianca Pascu has been designated the best Romanian
fencer of 2019. Her best performance this year was a bronze medal at the World Championships
hosted by Budapest in July. Pascu was the only Romanian to have made it to the
podium in Budapest.








Now let’s have a
look at the latest from football as Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday saw the
matches of the 19th leg of Romania’s first football league. On
Tuesday in Medias, central Romania, local side Gaz Metan secured a 1-0 win
against FC Voluntari while FCSB defeated Poli Iasi 2-1.






On Wednesday in
Clinceni, southern Romania, local side Academica managed a one-all draw against
FC Hermannstadt while in Cluj, local eleven CFR clinched a 1-0 win against
Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe. In Bucharest, Dinamo thrashed Chindia Targoviste 4-1
while Universitatea Craiova secured a 3-1 victory against FC Botosani. In
Ovidiu, southern Romania, local team Astra Giurgiu outperformed FC Viitorul
1-0. CFR tops the table with 38 points followed by Astra with 37 and Craiova
with 34.






The Romanian
women’s handball side on Friday won their match against Hungary 28-27 and has
thus qualified for the main groups of the World Championship in Japan. Romania
still stands chances to qualify for the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo.
