The
\nfirst part of Romania’s Olympic team flew to Japan on Thursday. The athletes were
\non board a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, charter flight, and it took them 13 hours
\nto land in Tokyo. The Henri Coanda International Airport’s Official Salon was
\nthe venue for the boarding operations. On board the plane were pools of
\nregulars for 3-on-3 basketball, boxing, football, judo, fencing, table tennis and
\narchery. Among other officials, seeing the Romanian athletes to the boarding
\ngate was the president of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, Mihai
\nCovaliu. We recall Covaliu was the Olympic champion in the Sydney 2000
\nOlympics, Sydney in 2000, in the individual saber event. <\/p>\n

Romanian
\nLeague One’s domestic football championship kickstarted on Thursday. FC
\nBotosani held FCSB to a blank draw at home. We recall FCSB are the vice
\nchampions in the previous competition season. The guest team had the upper hand
\nthroughout the game, yet FCSB wasted a string of opportunities to score and
\nBotosani’s goalie Eduard Pap even denied FCSB the chance to score from a
\npenalty kick on 61 minutes, a chance wasted by FCSB’s Florin Tanase. The latter
\nteam were granted the penalty kick as Alin Seroni’s tackling of Octavian
\nPopescu was rated as foul play. The game was also the debut match for FCSB’s
\nnew head-coach, Dinu Todoran. <\/p>\n
