The World Athletics Championships kick off this
weekend in Eugene, Oregon, USA. The competition will span the entire week, to
end on July 24. Romania’s delegation comprises 8 athletes, 4 women and 4 men.
Bianca Ghelber will compete in hammer throw, an event in which she came out 6th
at the Tokyo Olympics. Alexandru Novac, another Tokyo Olympics finalist, is
also expected to get good results in the javelin throw competition. The other
Romanian participants are Daniela Stanciu
in the high jump, Ana Veronica Rodean and Mihaela Acatrinei in the 20km race
walk, Andrei Rareş Toader in shot put, Alin Alexandru Firfirica in discus throw
and Marius Iulian Cocioran in the 35km race walk.


Romania’s delegation in the World Fencing
Championships in Cairo, which also begin this weekend, is made up of 18 athletes,
12 women and 6 men, who target a place among the top 4-6 nations. Romania has
complete teams in the men’s and women’s sabre events, and in the women’s foil
and epee events, plus 2 athletes in the men’s epee individual event. The men’s
sabre team, which ranked 5th in the European Championships hosted by
Antalya, Turkey this June, has the best chances to meet the goal set by the
Romanian Fencing Federation for the Cairo Championships. Sabreurs Răzvan
Ursachi and Iulian Teodosiu also stand good chances, after ranking 5th
and 6th in the European individual competition in Antalya. In the
latest World Championships, held in 2019 in Budapest, Romania’s Bianca Pascu
won the gold in the women’s individual sabre event. The most recent world titles for
Romania were won by the women’s epee team in 2010 and 2011, and the men’s sabre
team in 2009.
