    Sports roundup

    The women handball sides, which are
    representing Romania in the Champions League, started off on the right foot. On
    Friday in group C, Romania’s champions SCM Ramnicu Valcea secured a 34-27 home
    win against German side Bietigheim. In the same group on Saturday, French side
    Brest Bretagne obtained a 35-32 away win against Buducnost Podgorica.






    The Romanians will be playing Brest
    on Saturday. On Sunday in group B, CSM Bucharest defeated Danish side Esbjerg
    24-22 in an away game while the group’s favourite, Russian side Rostov-Don,
    outperformed Polish side Perla Lublin 31-21 in a home match. The Russians will
    come to Bucharest on Friday to take on the local side CSM.








    Unfortunately Romanian athletes
    walked away with no medal from the World Athletics Championships held in Qatar.
    Alin Firfirica obtained the best result for the Romanian delegation, a fourth
    place in the discus throw event, while Alina Rotaru came sixth in the long jump
    contest.






    The Romanian women’s gymnastics
    team ranked 22nd at the World Artistic Gymnastic Championship held in
    Stuttgart, and have thus failed to qualify for the Olympic Games in Tokyo next
    year. This would be the second edition of the Olympics the Romanians aren’t attending
    after the one in Rio in 2016. Maria Holbura is the only Romanian who has won
    her plane tickets to Japan following the results she obtained in the individual
    all-round event.






    Last weekend saw the games of the
    12th leg of the first Romanian football league. Friday saw two
    games, FC Botosani versus Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe and Universitatea Craiova
    versus Poli Iasi. Both games ended in a one-all draw.








    On Saturday, Gaz Metan Medias
    secured a 2-1 home win against Academica Clinceni, while the derby in Bucharest
    opposing the two archrivals FCSB and Dinamo Bucharest ended in a draw, one-all.
    On their own turf, in southern Romania, FC Viitorul secured a 3-1 win against
    CFR Cluj.

    November 5, 2016 UPDATE

    DRILL Over 1300 soldiers from Romania, Canada, Germany and the Republic of Moldova, an ex-soviet Romanian-speaking state, took part in a large-scale drill in the shooting range of Cincu, in central Romania. The Romanian Army participated with 13 military airplanes, including the newly bought F-16 fighters, and 200 military vehicles. This has been the fourth exercise of its kind hosted at Cincu this year.



    CAR CRASH Three people died and nearly 60 others were wounded on Saturday in a multiple-vehicle collision due to the heavy fog on the Sun Highway linking Bucharest to the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta. About 30 vehicles, including two minibuses, have been involved in the crash, forcing the authorities to intervene and close one lane of the highway.



    SUMMIT Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos is in Riga, Latvia, this weekend where he is attending the fifth summit bringing together heads of government from Central and Eastern Europe as well as China in the 16+1 format, a government communiqué has announced. The Prime Minister’s participation in the present China-CEE Summit is an occasion to reaffirm Romania’s determination to assume an increasing role in this cooperation format, the communiqué says. On the sidelines of the China-CEE summit, the Romanian official will be having a series of bilateral contacts with his counterparts attending the event in Riga.



    PIPELINE As of 2020, the Republic of Moldova (an ex-soviet Romanian-speaking state) might receive 2.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas, which is almost double its need, after the completion of the Iasi — Ungheni – Chisinau pipeline, that connect the former soviet Republic with Romania. This was the conclusion of the intergovernmental committee of economic cooperation between this ex-soviet country and Romania held in Chisinau on Friday. The parties have agreed on the strategic domains Romania is ready to get involved in order to streamline and develop the electric power infrastructure in the neighboring country. The Romanian Minister of the Economy, Costin Borc, has called on business people in Bucharest to get involved in the Republic of Moldova’s privatization processes.



    HANDBALL Romania’s champions and holder of the Champions League trophy in women’s handball CSM Bucharest lost to Hungarian side Gyor ETO 33-25 on Friday night in Budapest. This has been the Romanians’ third defeat in a row in the Champions League preliminaries, where they rank third in the group, with only two points, after Gyor and Rostov. Danish side Midtjylland is at the bottom of the group’s table. The first three sides in the group are qualified for the main board. In another development, Romania’s national handball side is taking on Poland in the second group of the preliminaries for the European Championship in 2018. They won their first game against Belarus 26-23. Serbia is also part of this group. The Romanians are being trained by Xavier Pascual, the one who is also coaching the famous side FC Barcelona.
