They are covered in snow for several months a year. Nevertheless, Romania does not have a place among the countries where the winter sports are developed. There are a few certified slopes, whether we speak about ski, bobsleigh or luge slopes. Preparing for and taking part in competitions is quite expensive, which is another hindrance for the winter sports athletes trying to prove themselves. Notwithstanding, as of late, Romanians results at international level have given us all a little bit of hope. A case in point is 27-year-old skier Ania Caill, a specialist in alpine skiing. Last week, Caill stepped onto a step of the podium several times as part of the competitions held in Italys Val Gardena. Were speaking about the International Ski Federations alpine skiing circuit competitions. In both downhill events she competed in on Wednesday, Caill came in 3rd. Then on Thursday, in the giant slalom, Ania Caill came in 2nd. Reason enough for Radio Romania International to designate Caill the Athlete of the week.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Ania Monica Germaine Caill was born in France in Limoges, on October 27, 1995. Her mother is Romanian, so Ana Caill has a double Romanian-French citizenship. Until 2011, she competed for France. However, in 2012 she decided to compete for Romania. Ania participated in the 2014 edition of the Winter Olympics held in Sochi, Russia, as well as in the Olympic Games held in South Koreas Pyeongchang, in 2018. Her performance back then was lackluster. In 2022, Ania Caills points in international competitions earned Romania a position in alpine skiing as part of the Beijing Olympics. However, Ania Caill was denied inclusion in the Romanian delegation. Nevertheless, Ania Caill is the best-placed Romanian according to the alpine skiing world rankings.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>(EN)<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skier Ania Caill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":122524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40940],"tags":[42141,35156,42139,40156,42140],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-122523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport","tag-alpine","tag-delegation","tag-downhill","tag-skiing","tag-slalom"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
