On the one hand, on the other hand, who knows, I had the honor, the pleasure of seeing the Prime Minister yesterday, and he promised us that what he said he would do, that he would now also start with the infrastructure , to give money for sports as well. I think he will. Let’s see how we old people here do. And I want to give you another surprise, before I go any further, we have the oldest Olympian alive today, Mr. Ioniță, who is there, 96 years old, Olympian in Rome, cycling, in 1960

Simona Halep, huge emotions during David Popovici’s races
Present at the awards ceremony was also Simona Halep, who said that she had great emotions for David Popovici when he won the gold medal in the 200 meters freestyle.
“I want to congratulate everyone who is here and everyone else, because I know how hard the work behind the Olympics is (…). Especially the pressure is enormous. They were capable, they were strong to win medals for Romania.
In rowing, I was more relaxed, because I knew that the girls were strong, they won medals before, and David was there, in the last meters, but it was such a great emotion as if I had participated”, said athlete Simona Halep .
