The 2021 season was, without a doubt, the year of the strong return for the Prahova pigeon fancier Cosmin Olteanu. Even if in previous years he won national trophies, in 2021 the pigeon fancier from Urlați dominated several short distance categories, as we saw in the case of Speed Yearlings category, as we will see today, when we present the national podium of the Middle distance Yearlings category and as we will see later, when we approach other categories of the National Championship.

The previous reference to the Speed Yearlings category is not accidental. As we mentioned at that time, the two hens of Cosmin Olteanu, who ranked 1st and 3rd nationally in this category, are in the same order also for the national podium of the Middle distance yearlings category. But, this time, the hens occupy the 1st and 2nd places. The third place is occupied by pigeon fanciers from the same “category”, the Bucharest team Stănescu + Dobre.

Cosmin Olteanu (PH) wins six national trophies with only two hens

Cosmin Olteanu won six national trophies in the pigeon rankings in the 2021 season. Out of these, three are first places, but it is interesting that all six were won by only two hens: RO-20-0020655 and RO-20- 0020011. Also in 2021, the well-known pigeon fancier from Prahova has several trophies won by fanciers. Thus, we are convinced that the two super-flyers have made a consistent contribution to these performances. As with Speed, the national champion is RO-20-0020655, this time with a coefficient of 3.67 penalty points. Instead, the runner-up in the category, hen RO-20-0020011, accumulated 4.59 penalty points. “Both hens were competed as widows, but with their partner at home. I want to tell you that there were stages when they saw their pairs before basketing and stages when they did not meet, and in both cases they performed very well. As for the training, the same thing: there were races when they were taken to training and races when they were not trained by car at all. What is certain is that they had similar performances. I used a Hungarian mixture as food, and I used Tollyamin and Belgasol as supplements. The national champion is reproduced from a cock with Rudy Van Reeth origins, and his mother is a hen from Jos Cools. The other hen is reproduced from a cock also from Jos Cools, and her mother is the famous Olympian of our loft, the hen 484 “, said Ciprian Mălescu, the manager of Cosmin Olteanu’s loft.

Team Stănescu+Dobre: national trophies every single year!

It would not be inappropriate at all for our publication at some point to compile a statistic in which to present the point of how many seasons the team Stănescu + Dobre is a constant presence on the national podium. The 2021 season is no exception to the rule, when the Bucharest team won several national trophies, but, for now, we are only talking about the Middle distance Yearlings category. Here, the two pigeon fanciers from the capital occupy the 3rd place nationally, with the hen RO-20-0700320 and with a coefficient of 5.49 penalty points. Among its best rankings we mention the 1st place out of 1,009 pigeons and two places out of 3 out of 2,825 pigeons, respectively 2,285 pigeons. “She is a hen of Dirk van den Bulck origins on her mother’s side, and Van den Brande, on her father’s side. We have not made any major changes to the system used so far. Widowhood method, and we kept her cock at home when we saw that she was starting to have very good arrivals. Otherwise, intense training around the loft, plus two 50 km per week by car, food from Versele Laga, the mixture with black corn, and supplements from Versele Laga, Rohnfried and CEST Pharma “, detailed Cosmin Dobre (photo).
