European Cross Country Champs: Florea 14th in the junior’s race and Frumuz 15th in the seniors race
Velenje, a city located in northern Slovenia, was the host of the European Cross Country Championships on Sunday. The competition included 6 races, juniors, U23 and Seniors, males and females. The adidas Boulder Wave team had 2 runners selected for this competition, Florea Madalina ran in the junior’s race and Frumuz Cristiana in the senior’s race.
Running in decent weather conditions and a not-too-challenging course Florea Madalina managed to finish 14th out of 93 runners, placing second for Romania after Ioana Doaga’s second place finish and silver medal. Romania finished 4th in the team rankings with Bunea Anca (23) and Panaet Elena (36), behind Germany, Russia and winner, Great Britain. The individual title was won by Great Britain’s Emelia Gorecka.
Cristiana Frumuz ran a great race finishing 15th in the women senior’s race, the second runner to finish for Romania after Barca Roxana’s 7th place. Together with Cristiana Casandra (25) and Bobocel Ancuta (41) Romania finished 5th in the team standings. The individual title went to Irland’s Fionnuala Britton, while the team title went to Great Britain. Full results. Race Video. Race Photos.
At the end of the competition Cristiana Frumuz happily said, “…I’m extremely satisfied with my performance today, it certainly means something, but on the other hand I feel very sorry for not getting a medal with the team. However, I hope next year we will be on the medal stand.”
