The main event of this past week, for Romanian sports\u2019 fans, was the completion of the Olympic balance sheet of the delegation that represented Romania at the Paris Olympic Games. The gymnast Ana Maria B\u0103rbosu received, on Friday, during a ceremony held in Bucharest, the Olympic bronze medal in the floor event, which was awarded to her following the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We remind you that, on August 5, in the Olympic floor final, Ana B\u0103rbosu was, for a few minutes, a bronze medalist, but the American gymnast Jordan Chiles filed an appeal and her mark was increased, thus finishing on third position. The decision of the Lausanne Court annulled the appeal of the American athlete, so B\u0103rbosu thus wins the first Olympic medal of Romanian gymnastics in the last 12 years. Romania had not been on the Olympic podium in artistic gymnastics since 2012, in London, when Sandra Izba\u015fa won gold in the vault event, C\u0103t\u0103lina Ponor won silver in the floor event, and the Romanian women’s team got bronze in the competition of nations.<\/p>\n

We pass on to cycling.<\/p>\n
The cycling tour of Romania, which ended on Sunday, was won by the Kazakh road cyclist Ilhan Dostiev, from the Astana Qazaqstan Development Team. He was followed in the final classification of the race by the Italian Davide Toneatti, also from Astana, by the Slovakian Lukas Kubis, from the Elkov – Kasper team, and by Cristian R\u0103ileanu, a member of the Romanian national team. Dostiev is the third representative of Kazakhstan to win the race, after Sergei Tretiakov, in 1999, and Vadim Kravchenko, in 2000.<\/p>\n
