To mark the Centenary, Romanians can vote for the athletes who have united us through their performances over 100 years, in the Great Unification of Sports. On 15 July, the Alexandrion Foundation launched a campaign of the same name to pay tribute to Romania’s great sporting names and legends.
All fans, or those who simply witnessed a great performance in any sport, can contribute to this project dedicated to athletic excellence.
Starting on 1 August 2018, Romanians can nominate, on the platform www.mareaunificaresportiva.ro, outstanding figures of Romanian sport, from football heroes to kayaking, volleyball, handball, tennis or gymnastics, who put Romania on the map of champions and united us over the last 100 years, and who have made us proud to be Romanian through their achievements.
Subsequently, the public will be invited on the same website to vote for their champions. The top 10 who receive the most votes will be rewarded by the Alexandrion Foundation with prizes worth up to 100,000 lei and the “Great Unification of Sports” medal.
Names known around the world, as well as other lesser-known performers, will be found on the 100-year sports timeline on www.mareaunificaresportiva.ro. It will thus become the first online platform dedicated to the history of Romanian sport, offering the public an exhaustive chronology, starting with the first national championships and their champions. The public’s favourites will be announced at an event to be held in December 2018.
