Ispas Mihăiță undoubtedly represents Oltenia's top contender in the As Maraton Tineret category for the 2023 competitive season. Although the region faced significant challenges due to the war in Ukraine and changes in flight routes, it took only two seasons for the situation to stabilize. Once again, the marathon pigeons from Oltenia province have distinguished themselves at the national level, showcasing remarkable performances in endurance and extreme-distance competitions.
The protagonist of this success is Ispas Mihăiță, a well-known breeder in the region, who has previously excelled in long-distance competitions. Focused exclusively on extreme-distance races, he understood from the beginning that success hinges on the quality of the pigeons. In his pursuit of excellence, he studied and collaborated with top breeders in Romania. His breeding compartment now includes pigeons from the renowned trio Magirescu-Ojoc-Dorneanu, as well as from breeders like Cioacă Florin and Preda Gheorghe. This strategy proved to be the key to success, culminating in securing 1st place at the National As Maraton Tineret.
The determination of Oltenia’s winged champion proved stronger than the challenges posed by crossing two mountain ranges, which were no obstacle in achieving his goal. Thus, Ispas Mihăiță succeeded in winning the much-coveted national title in the As Maraton Tineret category, demonstrating an extraordinary combination of quality, endurance, and performance!
