World Gymnastics Championships: Romanian Marian Dragulescu wins silver in the vault final

Romanian Marian Dragulescu, 34, has won the silver medal in men’s vault final of the World Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow. The Romanian, a four-time world gold medalist on vault, got a score of 15.400 points at the final organized on Sunday, November 1. North Korean Ri Se-Gwang got the gold with a score of 15.450 points, while American Donnell Whittenburg landed the bronze with 15.350 points. Marian Dragulescu returned to the top level of gymnastics after announcing his retirement on three occasions. “It was a long journey. I had to fight for a place on the team and compete All-Around again, which wasn’t easy. It feels very good to be back, especially if you make a final and a medal. Now I got the silver and I’m very happy,” Dragulescu said, cited by 2015worldgymnastics.com. Last week, Romanian gymnast Larisa Iordache won the bronze medal in the all-around final of the World Gymnastics Championships.
