Pass and classify Romanian olympic athletes

Pass and classify Romanian Olympic athletes.

These are screen captures from the video below, so many of the pics are not clear. Better see the video to get a better idea of the phenotypes.

Where do they pass best as a group?

Btw, all of them are ethnic Romanian, except one woman.

I've a poll, please vote

To my eyes, this group is more Slavic shifted than Romanian average (due to the sports represented in the video)

Alpines, Alpine race

Alpines, Alpine race

That makes sense. Romanians are mountain folk.

Where do you see them passing?

[Dušan]

They can pass in Serbia easily.

Other opinions on passing and classification?

Just say what comes to mind first after browsing the pictures

[aherne]

About 25% look like typical East Slavs, but the rest are either mixed or looking as expected from Romanians. Maybe they are from Moldova?

this group posted is surprisingly homogenous and lacking the exotic faces we see in Romania every here and there, I would guess them as Romanian if I didn't know they were.

most are in the range of Alpinized Pontids (brachy heads, round faces), though they are less Dinaric than usual, which makes me think they might be from southeast and northeast more than from southwest and the Carpathian Basin.


PS. I don't know about these ppl in the OP but there's always Ukrainian ethnics in the kayak-canoe teams and that sport has traditionally been a Lipovan & Ukrainian affair in Romania (Tulcea and Suceava counties overrepresented). but they don't stick out, they pass as Romanian ethnic as well, and Ukrainian surnames are never acknowledged as foreign, they are accepted as local, because they are so overly common (-iuc, -co, -eac etc), this why usually Romanians don't even notice them as Ukrainian, and even themselves don't advertise it, so it's understandable not to know.
