The recently-held IHF World Women’s Championship brought the women’s international competition season to a standstill for about
\na month. The season has been resumed, with a new stage as part of the European
\nCups.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Five Romanian teams have been proving their
\nmettle in the Champions league and the EHF European League, respectively. They
\nare CSM Bucharest, Rapid Bucharest, Dunarea Braila, Gloria Bistrita and CSM
\nTargu Jiu. <\/p>\n

CSM Bucharest this past weekend had an
\nexcellent run, trouncing Montenegro’s Buducnost
\nPodgorica, 44 to 26. CSM was lucky
\nenough to have Cristina Neagu on the lineup, in top shape. At the recently-held World
\nChampionships, Cristina was part of the lineup but she played one single
\ngame, the fixture against Germany in the main group, having incompletely
\nrecovered from an injury. In this past Sunday’s game, Cristina Neagu was again
\nher team’s top handballer, and the seven goals she scored mattered a lot in CSM’s
\nconfrontation against Buducnost.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Reason enough for Radio Romania International
\nto designate Cristina Neagu the Athlete of the week. <\/p>\n

Cristina Neagu was
\nborn in Bucharest, on August 26, 1988. She made her debut with the School
\nSports Club number 5. In 2006, Cristina Neagu turned pro, being signed up by
\nRulmentul from Brasov, then she had a stint with Oltchim R\u00e2mnicu V\u00e2lcea. In
\n2010, playing for Oltchim, Cristina Neagu reached as far as the Champions League
\nfinal. When Oltchim was dismantled, Neagu was signed up by Buducnost Podgorica,
\nwinner of the Champions League in 2015. Since 2017, Cristina Neagu has been
\nplaying for CSM Bucharest. In 2010, 2015, 2016 \u0219i 2018, the IHF designated
\nCristina Neagu the world’s best handballer. Cristina thus became the first
\nhandballer in history who won the title four times. After the IHF Women’s World
\nChampionship in December, when the Romanian national team wasted the
\nopportunity to qualify to the Olympic Games in Paris, Cristina Neagu announced her
\nretirement from the national team. <\/p>\n

As a Romanian national
\nteam player, Cristina Neagu won two bronze medals, in 2010, at the European
\nChampionship, jointly hosted by Denmark and Norway, and at the World
\nChampionship in Denmark, in 2015. <\/p>\n
