Romania Establishes National Paralympic Sport Day
Why this is here: Romania’s first Paralympic gold medal came on September 1, 2012, when Eduard Novák won at the London Games.
Nicușor Dan, the President, signed a law establishing September 1 as National Paralympic Sport Day in Romania. The law passed the Chamber of Deputies on April 22 and aims to publicly recognize Romanian Paralympic athletes. The day will celebrate their contributions to sports values and social inclusion through physical activity.
Public authorities, schools, and organizations can now organize events to mark the occasion. The Romanian National Paralympic Committee welcomed the law as a landmark decision for Romanian Paralympic sport. September 1st was chosen because it marks the date Romania won its first Paralympic gold medal—Eduard Novák’s win at the 2012 London Games.
The initial legislative proposal came from UDMR deputy Csép Éva Andrea in 2025. The National Paralympic Committee, founded in 2001, coordinates sports for people with disabilities in Romania. Future efforts will focus on strengthening Romania’s position in Paralympic sports internationally.
