Also this year, Branza was picked best athlete by her club Steaua. Ana-Maria Branza wants to keep a high standard throughout next year, when she expects to defend her titles and face even more competition. <span style=line-height: 1.6em;>In rugby, Steaua was designated best team in 2013, when it won the Romanian Cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been an action-packed year for Romanian athletics. Our athletes were involved in several local, regional and global events, such as the University World Games, the Olympic Festival of European Youth or the Francophone Games. Romania grabbed a total of 24 medals, of which 9 gold, 8 silver and 7 bronze. The Romanian Athletics Federation has awarded the \u201cathlete of the year\u201d distinction to Romanian triple jumper Marian Oprea, who ranked 6th at this year\u2019s World Championships. Ranking 2nd in the athletics standings was Romania\u2019s 4x400m relay team, made up of Bianca Razor, Mirela Lavric, Sanda Belgyan, Adelina Pastor and Alina Panaite. Ranking third in the standings was Florentina Marincu, who won the long jump and triple jump gold medals at this year\u2019s edition of the World Junior Championships.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Romanian sports reported a visible downward trend, failing to obtain a gold medal in an Olympic discipline in senior competitions. Romanian athletes won only 3 silver medals, in rowing and fencing, but the event will no longer be included in the 2016 Olympic Games. Also, Romania walked home with 4 bronze medals, in kayak-canoeing, gymnastics, and fencing. The same negative trend was reported in athletics.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Judoka Andreea Chitu, European vice-champion and 5th placed at the World Championships, has been designated athlete of the year by the Prahova County Directorate for Sports and Youth. Chitu, who competes in the 52-kg category, currently competes for CSM Ploiesti and Steaua Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The best teams of 2013 are Romanian Football Cup winner Petrolul Ploiesti, a team that also played in the Europa League preliminaries and CSU Asesoft Ploiesti, Romania\u2019s national basketball champions, currently playing the EuroCup groups.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Todays sports feature looks back at some of the achievements of Romanian athletes in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":109280,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40940],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-109279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
