To visit Madeira Island, part of Portugal, was one of my objectives for some time. Once arrived at the location, for a one-week vacation, alongside my beautiful girlfriend, I have decided from the first moment that this looks like better than I even imagined. I am saying this, even though the full experience will be…

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…
Rapid Bucharest, the reasons for which it is the greatest football team in Romania

Rareș Ilie, the Romanian prodigy – complete portrait
I have talked and wrote many times about Rareș Ilie long before the Romanian “press” – you’ll find later on that the brackets are really needed – heard of him, let alone see his qualities. Most of them, anyway, didn’t see any quality in this guy. But Nice, number 5 in 2021-2022 Ligue 1 saw…
I had a dream! To complete a Spartan Trifecta in one Weekend
It was never easy, in my mind, to go all in for any Spartan Race. Not at the beginning, in 2019, neither when I attended my first Beast in Slovakia back in 2020. My first Hurricane Heat or my first Trifecta, stretched through one single year. In 2021 followed the first Mountain Beast, at Cheile…
David Popovici – the truth about a World Champion in Romania
Stop! This is the perfect word for the general Romanian behavior from the last few days of June. Driven by only a few minutes, 19 million people rediscovered, without deserving, how it is to have a top sportsman: David Popovici. We like sport only when we see results, regardless of the sport type. A disgrace,…
World Cup 2022: we have all the qualified teams. Which are the favorites?
In mid June, the last three qualified teams to the World Cup 2022 were found out. Wales beat Ukraine, after the Ukrainians put out Scotland, Australia kicked out United Arab Emirates and Peru – at penalty kicks – and last, but not least Costa Rica beat New Zeeland to gain the last spot. Now, the…
