On the podium the athletes from Volpiano at the European National Championships.
On the podium
Fatigue, determination and a great desire to do well at the trip to Rimini of the Judo Azzurro Volpiano rhythmic gymnastics team. An important journey for an important competition, namely the European National Championships which were held over a distance of three days. The Canavese group, which despite the well-known difficulties due to the pandemic has always worked hard, first at a distance then in presence, was able to emerge with its own representatives, who were very well followed by the Volpianese staff.
The medals
In fact, many important results were brought home. Starting with the splendid first place achieved by Angelica Destro, who won the Joy Prima category for 10 years. Place of honor, on the other hand, for Giorgia Jiga, who engaged in the Easy First class for 9 years ended, in fact, with an excellent second position. Another podium, then, the one taken by Ilaria Pastore among the Easy First 10 years band, while the bronze finished at the neck of the trio formed by Nicole Monteleone, Giordana and Jiga in the collective free body test.
The other results
Out of the medal table, due to some flaws, but undoubtedly very ready to do well in the FGI tricolor races to be held at the end of the month the good Greta Alia, who finished in fourth place. The fourth position of Nicole Monteleone in the Joy category First range 10 years is also very respectable. Out of 22 committed athletes, the fifth place of Mirta Monteleone, who competed in the Silver category Third ball tool band, is praiseworthy. Ginevra Giordana, on the other hand, still at the start among the Joy First 10 year band was ranked sixth, imitated by Emma Testa, engaged in turn in the Easy Second 10 year band category.
The comment
“All the girls deserve great applause for how well they behaved – this is the message that comes from Blue Judo – A special thanks, however, should be addressed to Greta Alia, who in addition to having taken part in the Nationals as an athlete, was also lavished in the construction of the exercises that her young teammates proposed on the occasion ».
