Iulian Daniliuc, the national champion of the Gold Club 2024

In the 2024 season, the Gold Club, Romania's most important prize money competition, produced one of the tightest championships since its debut. The scores obtained by the registered pigeons were very low, and the competition very exciting, especially due to the large number of nominated stages and the fact that the norm, according to the regulations, could be achieved after several algorithms.

For the 2024 season, the Gold Club regulations stipulated that the flight plans contain 7 races over 475 km nominated for the Gold standard, three of which should be marathon or extreme. The norm would be realized from any three of these stages, in any formula and without a km limit.

Iulian Daniliuc, the champion of the 2024 season

As I said, the national ranking of Club Gold in the 2024 season was a very contested one, with some of the lowest scores in the history of this competition being achieved. The big winner is Iulian Daniliuc, from Botoșani, whose young cock RO-2023-2000601 scored only 1.74 penalty points. The three stages with which he achieved the norm were a stage of 571 km, a stage of 780 km and a stage of 859 km. It is amazing that in all these three contests, Iulian Daniliuc's cock got the 1st place in the county in the Gold classification, the number of rings being 1,735. That he is a good competitor can also be seen from the fact that, in addition to the 1st place national Gold 2024, the young cock competed by Iulian Daniliuc also takes the 12th place national Ace Marathon Youth.

As a peculiarity, the cock was competed in widowhood and was noted for being very territorial, occupying no less than three boxes in the flight compartment.
