For the Allround Old birds category, the 2021 season was one of the best. The scores obtained by the three pigeons on the national podium are very low, especially in the case of the national champion, especially since we are talking about a category that is achieved by ranking six competitions, among which a long distance race is mandatory.

Liviu Vieru is the national champion of the Allround Old birds 2021 category, a result that is part of the plethora of national trophies won by one of the best short stage pigeons that has ever competed in Romania, the cock RO-19-1007132 or “Fantastic 32”. The vice-champion of the category is also from Olt, like Liviu Vieru, and he is again a well-known pigeon fancier due to his results. We are talking about Cristian Lemnaru, who ranks 2nd National with the cock RO-18-9006326. Class A.L.B., from Bacău, are the ones who win the last national trophy, also with a cock, whose series is RO-19-1005865.

Four national trophies won by a pigeon

It is no longer a novelty that Liviu Vieru, from Caracal, Olt, had a 2021 season as you rarely meet. National trophies won in the categories dedicated to fanciers, other national trophies won with different pigeons, but certainly the best known is the performance of the cock “Fantastic 32”, who won four competitions last season, but also four national trophies : 1 National Allround Old birds, 1 National Middle distance Old birds, 2 National Short distance Old birds and 2 National H-Old birds category. Winning so many competitions and with very high numbers of participating pigeons (1st place out of 17,224 pigeons (240 km), 1st place out of 15,809 pigeons (337 km), 1st place out of 13,117 pigeons (394 km) and 1st place out of 4,731 pigeons (672 km) ), “Fantastic 32” set several scoring records, including that of Allround Old birds: 2.50 penalty points.

Cristian Lemnaru, a new national trophy won with the same pigeon family

Cristian Lemnaru, from Brebeni, Olt County, has one of the best pigeon families for short stages in Romania. The statement is based only on the number of national trophies won by these pigeons, which are based on the hen “Dolce Vita”, one of the first national champions of Cristian Lemnaru, and who performs in all categories of a day. In 2021 alone, they won three new national trophies, two at the Long distance and one at Allround Old birds. Moreover, the hen who won the two national trophies, at Long distance Old birds and Long distance Palmares, and the cock RO-18-9006326, national vice-champion at allround Old birds, with 9.56 penalty points, are siblings. Among its best rankings for the Allround Old birds category norm we mention the 1st place out of 4,965 pigeons (367 km), the 4th place out of 3,851 pigeons (216 km) and the 23rd place out of 15,809 pigeons (313 km).

Class A.L.B. (Bacău) wins a new national trophy

The “Class A.L.B.” team from Bacău won two national trophies in the 2021 season. One of them was won at Long distance Old birds, 3rd place National, and the second at Allround Old birds, where it also occupies the 3rd place National. The Allround Old birds trophy was won with the cock RO-19-1005865, who was penalized with 9.83 points. Unlike the other two pigeons, five of the six rankings of this cock, centralized for the category norm, are from the general rankings of the stages. Among them are two first places: 1 in 6,594 pigeons (175 km) and 1 in 5,524 pigeons (459 km). “The cock is reproduced from an original Team GPS cock, from the Vandenabeele pigeons and a niece of the famous Harry, Jan Hooymans’ pigeon. Harry is also with his mother, along with Marcel Wouters pigeons. He competed in widowhood and had the same system as the one who won 3rd place in Long distance ace. The widow’s method began two weeks before the first Long distance race and continued throughout the season, with the pigeons meeting their pairs only on arrival. I used Vanrobaeys, Gino Clique and Platteeuw mixes. Every week, the pigeons were taken to three or four training sessions, which were never longer than 60 km “, said Alexandru Gosav, one of the members of” Class A.L.B. “.
