Impressively, Romania managed to qualify nine different crews for the A finals in Bled, with the men's pair team, composed of Marius Cozmiuc and Sergiu Bejan, securing their place in the final after achieving second place in the semi-finals held on Saturday.
In the A/B2 semi-final of the men's double sculls, the team consisting of Florin Arteni and Ciprian Tudosa performed admirably, finishing in 4th place. Although they narrowly missed out on a spot in the A Final, they will now compete in the B Final.
