Romanian athlete David Popovici has been nominated by the continental swimming forum for the title of best European swimmer of 2024. This year, at the Olympic Games, Popovici won gold in the 200-meter freestyle race and bronze in the 100-meter event, and at the European Championships, gold medals in the 100 and 200-meter freestyle events. Léon Marchand of Franceis the favorite for this title. He won four gold medals and one bronze medal at the Olympic Games and set four Olympic and two European records. Let us also note that in the high jump event, two Romanians were nominated for the title of best European athlete of the year, Constantin Popovici and Cătălin Preda respectively.

 

Rower Ioana Vrînceanu received the title of best athlete of the year from Steaua Bucharest Army Sports Club on Tuesday at a gala event held in Bucharest. At the Paris Olympics, she won gold in the women’s 8+1 event and silver in the women’s double sculls, alongside Roxana Anghel. In Szeged, Hungary, the two athletes also scooped the European gold in the double-scull race.

 

Marian Enache and Andrei Cornea were designed “Crew of the Year” by the Romanian Rowing Federation. At the Paris Olympics, they won gold in the men’s double sculls. The members of the women’s 8+1 crew, the Olympic champions, and the other athletes who won medals in Paris in the women’s double sculls, double pairs and lightweight double sculls also received awards.

 

2024 was also good for Romanian football. The national team qualified to a European championship again, where it reached the round of 16. Midfielder Răzvan Marin, currently playing for the Italian club Cagliari, was designated player of the year. Having scored eight goals for the national team this year, including two at EURO 2024, Marin also received the award for best midfielder. The title of best coach of the year went to Edward Iordănescu, who, as headcoach, led the national team to the European Championship in Germany. (VP)
