    Bobul românesc revine în topurile europene

    Competiţiile de bob din această
    iarnă au adus rezultate bune sportivilor români, la toate categoriile de
    vârstă. Săptămâna trecută, de pildă, la Winterberg, în Germania, boberii români
    au urcat de mai multe ori pe podiumul de premiere, la Cupa Europei şi la
    Campionatele Europene pentru juniori. Vineri, Mihai Tentea şi Ciprian Daroczi
    au câştigat medaliile de aur în proba de bob-2 masculin, la Campionatele
    Europene de bob pentru juniori. Românii au fost urmaţi de germanii Laurin Zern
    şi Marvin Orthmann. Un alt echipaj românesc, compus din Andrei Nica şi Mihai
    Calancea, a încheiat pe locul 9. Andrei Turea şi Alexandru Cordoş s-au clasat
    pe 14, iar Rareş Dincă şi Valentin Tudorache au ocupat locul 16, ultimul.


    Sâmbătă, în Cupa Europei la bob-4
    masculin, pilotul Mihai Tentea şi împingătorii Ciprian Daroczi, Mihai Păcioianu
    şi George Iordache s-au clasat pe locul al doilea în etapa a şaptea, fiind
    devansaţi doar de echipajul Germaniei. În etapa a opta, românii au încheiat pe
    locul al treilea, după Germania şi Statele Unite. Rezultatul din etapa a opta a
    contat şi pentru Europenele de juniori, unde tricolorii au obţinut argintul. O
    medalie de bronz a obţinut şi echipajul compus din Georgeta Popescu şi Antonia
    Sârbu la Europenele pentru sportivi sub 23 de ani, în proba de bob-2 feminin.
    Româncele au fost devansate de echipajele Germaniei şi Austriei. Cu timpul
    înregistrat, Popescu şi Sârbu au încheiat pe locul 8 în Cupa Europei.


    Revenirea bobului românesc în
    topurile continentale nu este o surpriză. Bobul a avut mereu tradiţie în
    România, iar singura medalie românească la Jocurile Olimpice de iarnă a fost
    adusă de boberi. În 1968, la Grenoble, Ion Panţuru şi Nicolae Neagoe reuşeau să
    obţină bronzul la bob-2.
