For the third year running, the Alexandrion Foundation is organising the Alexandrion Trophies Gala. The distinctions and financial rewards offered at the event are dedicated to athletes who achieved outstanding performance in 2017, and they are the only initiative of this kind organised and supported entirely by a private entity. The awards ceremony, during which the 10 trophies will be presented, will take place on 1 February in Bucharest, in the presence of more than 300 guests.<\/p>\n
The Alexandrion Trophies are intended to reward excellent results in sport, but also to help athletes draw attention to the enormous needs of this field, which requires constant and more active involvement from the state as well as the private sector.<\/p>\n
The Alexandrion Trophies are awarded annually by the Alexandrion Foundation following consultation with representatives of more than 20 sports editorial offices in Romania, as well as with competent public institutions. In choosing the winners, the national and international achievements of athletes in the year just ended are taken into account.<\/p>\n
At previous editions, 20 trophies have already been presented. Among the winners are: Marian Dr\u0103gulescu (gymnastics), Elizabeta Samara and Daniela Dodean (table tennis), Simona Halep (tennis), Horia Tec\u0103u (tennis), Anghel Iord\u0103nescu (football), Tiberiu Dolniceanu (\u00e9p\u00e9e), Ana Maria Br\u00e2nz\u0103 (fencing), Cristina Neagu (handball), Cristiana Stancu (martial arts) and Andreea Chi\u021bu (judo), Romania’s 8+1 rowing crew who won bronze at the 2016 Olympic Games, Alexandru Bologa (judo), the members of the 2016 women’s \u00e9p\u00e9e team \u2013 Simona Gherman, Simona Pop, Ana-Maria Popescu and Loredana Dinu, Oana Manea (handball), the pair Horia Tec\u0103u\/Florin Mergea (tennis) \u2013 Olympic runners-up, C\u0103t\u0103lina Ponor (gymnastics) and Albert Saritov (wrestling).<\/p>\n
Boxing, golf, polo and cycling are also among the sports that the Alexandrion Foundation supports. Football, handball and rugby teams have not been forgotten either and benefit from the Foundation’s support.<\/p>\n
The Alexandrion Trophies are a first of their kind in Romania and form part of the Foundation’s strategy to support sporting excellence and performance. At the same time, the Foundation is one of the most active supporters of Romanian culture, awarding prizes each year to established cultural personalities and to those at the start of their careers through the two galas it organises \u2013 the Constantin Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards Gala<\/a> and the Matei Br\u00e2ncoveanu Awards Gala<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Alexandrion Trophies Gala 2018 will take place on 1 February For the third year running, the Alexandrion Foundation is organising the Alexandrion Trophies Gala.
