12 Romanian
crews have enrolled in the European Rowing Championships hosted by Poznan,
Poland this weekend. The delegation comprises 45 athletes and 15 technical
staff. The finals are scheduled for Sunday afternoon.

This weekend
will see a new round of matches counting towards the women’s Champions League
in handball. On Saturday, in Group A, Romania’s vice-champions, CSM Bucharest,
will play Vipers Kristiansand of Norway away from home. Both teams have won the
first two fixtures in the group stage so far. CSM will not be able to field its
top player, Cristina Neagu, who has tested positive for COVID-19. On Sunday, in
Group B, SCM Râmnicu Vâlcea was due to play Podravka Koprivnica of Croatia at
home, but the match has been postponed. The Romanian champions are at the
bottom of the group tables, with three defeats in three matches.
