Silaghi Darius

"My father was a national-level marathon runner in the '80s and '90s, during the golden age of Romanian athletics. He tried to introduce me to running when I was about 4 years old, but serious training had to wait. As a child, I also practiced gymnastics, and then in 2013, at the age of 8, I started competing in athletics. Ten years later, with National Championship titles and outstanding results at the age group level, I found myself at a crossroads: a herniated disc ended my athletic career, fortunately only temporarily. In 2023, with renewed energy, I ventured into unknown waters, eager to leverage my more than a decade of experience: I decided to start working with my own coaching staff."
