Florea Sorin, the initiator of „Team Florea Sorin” project, is one of the most important fanciers in Romania and, at least for now, the only romanian fancier declared “official ambassador of the Romanian Racing Pigeons Sport”. His achievements regarding the promotion of racing pigeons sport in Romania in the most select pigeon environments in the West Europe and beyond, the quality of the pigeons he owns in his lofts from Bucharest and, not least, the remarkable results achieved in Belgium, Taiwan or South Africa impose him as the most popular Romanian fancier at national and international level. First of all, it should be mentioned that in the Team Florea Sorin lofts in Bucharest are reproducing collections of unique pigeons in Europe. Descendants of true flying legends, pigeons from fanciers like Gaston van de Wouwer, Bart Geerinckx, Erik Limbourg, Gaby Vandenabeele, De Rauw-Sablon, Pros Roosen or reproduced in the PIPA Elite Center, all form together the most valuable breeding loft from Eastern Europe. From these birds, Florea Sorin reproduces alot of youngsters who are sent to compete in the most important columbodroms in Taiwan, South Africa, Greece, Portugal or Spain, competitions with lots of good results obtained. Winning the spring championship earlier this year in Taiwan together with his Asian partners, 1st place in the first race – Hot Spot Car of Victoria Falls Challenge Pigeon Race columbodrom from Zimbabwe, 5th place Best Overall from 3600 pigeons at the same columbodrom or 1st place Hot Spot Car Race in South Africa are just some of the top international references in this type of championships. Then, a very important aspect of the activity carried out by Team Florea Sorin are partnerships with famous foreign fanciers, of which we can mention Guy Van Der Auwera, Bert Van den Berghe, Nicolas and Filip Norman, but also romanian fancier Daniel Bucaciuc, competing at the highest level in Belgium. Many youngsters reproduced by Florea Sorin in Bucharest go to their lofts, where it competes extremely well. Even this year, with Guy Van Der Auwera, Florea Sorin won the 1st National Yearling in the Bourges competition and the 5th place out of of 41,989 pigeons, Bourges being one of the most important national races in Belgium, and the competition in the Belgian championship no longer needs any presentation. At the end of a flight of 498,060 km, hen BE 18-6039650 owned by Guy Van Der Auwera & Florea Sorin partnership was recorded at 14:40:27 with a speed of 1243.75 m/min. The pedigree of the hen is a very special one, BE 18-6039650 being, among others, descendant of “The Gilbert” of Erik Limbourg, but also „Wittekop Silvester” and „Willyke” of Bart Geerinckx. Also, Guy Van Der Auwera and Florea Sorin won, also this year, 1st place National Great middle-distance KBDB Belgium, outrunning alot of famous belgian fanciers.
We can see that Team Florea Sorin has, by far, at least if we refer to Romania, a unique approach to racing pigeons sport. In terms of pigeons investments, Florea Sorin can be hardly matched, things being similar when it comes to popularity. Most probably, Florea Sorin is the most internationally known romanian fancier și the holder of references worthy of envy.
