Romania has won 27 medals, including eight gold, ten silver and nine bronze medals, at the 49th edition of the Balkan Under-20 Athletics Championships that took place in Cluj-Napoca.
Chairman of the Romanian Athletics Federation Florin Florea says he is pleased with the performance of the junior track and field athletes, adding that he expects them to get the same excellent results at the European Championships and the European Youth Olympic Festival.
"We have shown that we can organise a competition of this level, and we are considering other major competitions that we want to host in the future. We would like to grow together with the public in Cluj and Romania to bring people to stadiums for our shows and performance. At the sporting level, we think about the European Championships in Sweden and also but also the European Youth Olympic Festival, where young athletes will feel the Olympic spirit. We have very talented children and I am sure that moving forward they will perform at a very high level with everybody's support," Florea says.
