In the last week, the World Cup in Qatar took the second place, because the interview with Cristiano Ronaldo, held by Piers Morgan, covered the so-called football world almost entirely.

Qatar World Cup 2022 – the land of hypocrisy
There is no previous World Cup and there will be no other in the future as debated like the World Cup from Qatar that is about to start on 20th of November 2022. The problem is that we all knew about this as early as December 2010, which means 12 years ago! Around six months…
Marseille, the beautiful city of contrasts
Trying to reach Madeira Island from Bucharest can be a real challenge. So be it, we chose, in the end, to go there via Marseille. Another city from my extended bucket list. Not something very hot, though, but since the opportunity came up, I gave it the go. One day and a half looked very…
Piatra Craiului Marathon & Azuga Trail Race – sweet October
For some time, I wanted to attend Piatra Craiului Marathon, the most vintage running event from Romania and also Azuga Trail Race.

Cristi Săpunaru
The Romanian football is rotten from one side to another. The press, the sports people, everybody. Or, OK, most of them. In principle, if you are decent you don’t appear more than a couple of times / year at the television. And I am generous. I am not referring to football players here or important…
2X2 Race: the dream, the failure, the obsession, the focus
Us runners are aiming higher and higher because we have quite of a big ego that need to be fed. Believe me. If any runner says he’s not running for him at least at a level, mostly the main level, then he’s lying. For me, 2X2 Race was a dream from one year ago or…
