Liviu Plăvițu, triple national champion in the 2024 youngsters season

If until now there could still be discussions about who holds the supremacy in Romania at the youngsters competitions, after the 2024 season things are quite clear. We have a breeder who we can say is the best Romanian pigeon fancier in youngsters competition. This is Liviu Plăvițu, from Drobeta Turnu-Severin.

Liviu Plăvițu has been an active pigeon fancier for over 15 years, during which time he won many national trophies. He is also an Olympic pigeon fancier, not only a multiple national champion, but in recent years, he has stood out especially through his performances in the championships with youngsters. If in 2023 he won four national trophies with the youngsters, being a three-time national champion, in the 2024 season we can say that he surpassed even himself. Not only the number of national trophies won with the youngsters in 2024 impresses, but also the fact that he is national champion in three different categories in terms of distance and complexity!

National 1st place Speed Youngsters

In the order of the categories in the national catalog, the first national trophy won by Liviu Plăvițu in 2024 with the youngsters is the 1st place national Speed Youngsters. Champion is the chicken with series RO-2024-0424008. In the five contests, the champion accumulated 8.94 penalty points.

In the Middle distance category, he sets a national record

As for the Middle distance youngsters category, we can say that Liviu Plăvițu sets a real national record. He won all three national trophies, a situation encountered very few times in Romania's pigeon fancier history. Moreover, Liviu Plăvițu also takes the 5th, 6th and 9th places nationally, therefore having six pigeons in the top 10 nationally!

National Champion All Round

For the second consecutive year, Liviu Plăvițu is the national champion of the All Round youngsters category. The score achieved by the champion is 203.44 penalty points, very low compared to the other two pigeons on the national podium and also very good considering the complexity of the category, 8 stages are required to achieve the norm (of which the minimum two over 475 km).

Last but not least, Liviu Plavițu ranks 3rd nationally in the Breeders youngsters category. Thus, with the six national trophies won in 2024, Liviu Plăvițu becomes, without any doubt, the Romanian pigeon fancier with the most national trophies won with youngsters and a real specialist in this pigeon fancier field, like the great pigeon fanciers in the West.
