The Romanian delegation, which won four gold medals at the World Rowing Championships in Racice (Czech Republic), returned to the country on Monday. It was a good opportunity for Elisabeth Lipe (President of FR Canotaj) to give a poignant speech to Eduard Novak, Minister of Sports.

Everything happened in the official waiting room of the Henri Coanda airport.

“Mr. Minister (No. Eduard Novak), I see that you came completely unprepared! Today I expected you to come with cardboard on which to write something nice, but I understand that we came very quickly, and printing is more difficult.

But I am firmly convinced that it will come in the shortest possible time. I am convinced because at the meeting with the Prime Minister (not Nicolae Chuke) he said that we will have the full support of the government.

In addition to the award these athletes deserve, Romanian rowing also deserves the track. With a probability of 99%, this Olympic track is located within the radius of Pantelimon.

The Romanian Rowing Federation can boast of a rich track record,” he said Elizaveta Lypaquoted by Digisport.
