TRAINING ABROAD
He is part of a group of Romanian speed skaters that train at a rink in Inzell, Germany. "All the Romanian competitors come here year after year. For example, now the junior nationals are coming and more than 100 children have come, with parents, with coaches. The city is practically full of Romanians. Unfortunately, it is easier to bring 100 people to Germany than to build an ice rink in Romania." (eurosport.ro, 14 Feb 2023)
