Attention-grabbing
in 2021 was, among other things, the retirement of several top-flight Romanian athletes.
Among them, fencer Ana-Maria Popescu, tennis player Horia
Tecau as well as gymnasts Larisa Iordache and Marian Drăgulescu.

For the fifth time
running, in 2021 Ana-Maria Popescu has been designated the world's best epee

the Olympics in China. However, 2016 was the year when Ana-Maria Popescu's
career best happened; at the Rio Olympics, the Romanian won gold with the epee
national team. Ana-Maria Popescu then went on to win silver in the women's
singles as part of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

in 2021 Tecau advanced to the Champions Tournament, jointly with the German Kevin

defeats. Horia Tecau announcement his retirement shortly afterwards. At the previous
editions of the Champions Tournament, Tecau twice competed alongside Sweden's Robert
Lindstedt. Horia Tecau also paired up with the Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer four
times. Tecau and Rojer emerged as winners of the tournament in 2015.

Horia Tecau was
born on January 19, 1985 in Brasov. In 2002, pairing up with Florin Mergea, Tecau
won the Wimbledon men's doubles juniors' title. From July 2008, Horia Tecau had
been placed among the world's top 100 doubles tennis players. Since November 2009,
Horia Tecau has been placed among the world's top 50 tennis players. And that's all from Sports today. You can also

according to the world's men's doubles rankings, reaching as far as the
runner-up position in November 2015. Tecau won 38 men's doubles ATP tournaments
and played 24 finals. Pairing up with the Dutch Jean-Julien Rojer, Tecau twice

occurred in 2012, when in the singles and the teams' competitions she won gold in
the floor event and silver in the beam event, as part of the European Championship
in Brussels. In the nations' competition in 2012 at the London Olympics, Larisa
