General Interest

CITIZENSHIP
Immigrated to Italy from Romania with his family in 2009. After years of trying to obtain citizenship through the national weightlifting federation, Mircea was nationalised on 27 January 2022 in order to compete at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games in bobsleigh. "Two dreams have come true, two strong but different emotions. I've awaited citizenship almost with anger, and making the national team is a dream. Now I know that I have to give my best. I have all the cards to decide my destiny." (primamilanoovest.it, 20 Mar 2021; primamilanoovest.it, 29 Jan 2022)

Milestones

One career top-15 World Cup result, a 13th-place finish in the two-man in Altenberg in 2021/22 with pilot Patrick Baumgartner.
