Denisa Dragomir is a mountain runner, a sky runner. I know this sport is not as many others and it doesn’t grow much interest, but this has nothing to do necessary with the complexity or its level. It is simply because fewer understand and have patience with this kind of sport. The context is that…
Doping in sports: facts versus reality in 2022
Does doping really exist in 2022, in top sports? Well, I don’t want to pretend that I know this for a fact, but after Simona Halep’s positive test I’ve did some research and reread the article from Spiegel – part of Football Leaks – that promoted some very strange doping-related things from the Real Madrid,…
Madeira Island – complete guide if you want to have the vacation of your life
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
I am not writing this just because I grew up, from 1999, as a huge Rapid Bucharest fan. No, on the contrary. Now, being more objective than ever, after several years of heavily criticizing the club for one reason or another, I have gathered, in the season at the end which the club will celebrate…
10 things to do in Apulia, Italy – lovely Bari!
When we decided to have a summer vacation we chose Bari because of several factors, but mostly because it is not highly promoted in Romania so we knew it is very unlikely to get Romanian flavors there… And it was the case, though, as only a few citizens from our country did the same and…
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…
