Rowing
The Italian locality Varese late this week will play host to a new edition of the European Rowing Championships. The competition will be an interesting one, since the training stage for several participating crews is in full swing, ahead of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, so the European competition comes as an extremely useful test for those involved. European title holders jointly with the best of the best in domestic rowing will represent Romania in the aforementioned competition. Up until this week, Romanian rowers had a four-month training stage, also in Italy, on the Piedulico lake in the province of Cerni in central Italy. It takes the delegations 600 kilometers to get to Varese, the lake lying on Italy's border with Switzerland, where the competition will be held. Under the present circumstances, the Romanian delegation managed to avoid the procedure generated by the five-day lockdown imposed by Italy to visitors from the EU, since they had no legal frontier to cross.
The Romanian rowers have an impressive record to defend while proving their mettle in the upcoming European Championships. We recall that in the 2020 edition of the championship held in Poland's Poznan, Romania walked away with four gold medals in four events. In the women's coxless pair, the winners were Adriana Ailincăi and Iuliana Buhuş. In the men's coxless pair, Ciprian Tudosă and Marius Cozmiuc were the winners, while Simona Radiş and Ancuţa Bodnar won the double scull event. Romania's women's coxed eight crew emerged as winners. The crew was made of Maria-Magdalena Rusu, Viviana-Iuliana Bejinariu, Georgiana Dedu, Amalia Bereş, Ioana Vrînceanu, Maria Tivodariu, Mădălina Bereş, Denisa Tîlvescu and Daniela Druncea. The men's coxed eight crew walked home with silver. The winners were Alexandru Chioseaua, Florin-Sorin Lehaci, Constantin Radu, Sergiu-Vasile Bejan, Vlad-Dragoş Aicoboae, Constantin Adam, Florin Arteni-Fîntînariu, Ciprian Huc and Adrian Munteanu. Women's lightweight double sculls event saw the Romanian crew walking home with silver. Ionela-Livia Cozmiuc and Gianina-Elena Beleagă added a fine touch to the Romanian delegation's already impressive record.
