These included eight world championship medals as a member of Romania's four-man Canadian canoe (C4) team. He also won two world championship medals in the C2 200m sprint with partner Mihail Vartolomei.

He also won a total of ten European championship medals, the highlight being the C2 200m gold medal (again with Vartolomei) in Milan in 2001.
