*GOLD FOR THE AZZURRI -* Mauro Nespoli, Federico Musolesi and Alessandro Paoli
they win the gold thanks to a very high level final in which they fold in
only three sets Spain (Acha, Alvarino Garcia, Temino). The three blues yes
they immediately take the lead (56-55), then equalize 55-55 the second volley
but in the third with four “10” out of six arrows they close the door in the face of
a possible Iberian comeback leading to partial home (58-55) and match.
In the previous matches, the Italian trio got the better of the first against
Great Britain (Orton, Wise Woodgate) 5-1 without much difficulty and then
in the semifinals with a perfect shoot off against the Netherlands (Broeksma, Roos,
Wijler), match that ends 5-4 (30-28).
The Dutch are unable to raise their heads immediately and take advantage of it
Switzerland winning the final for the bronze 6-2.
After the victory, Mauro Nespoli spoke to the Italia Team social networks: “*Da
when I was named standard bearer I felt responsibility and honour,
also because it was definitely a surprise. In this event there
we play the first passes for the olympics, we come from a competition a
Medellin winning but definitely tiring, I have to be able to find the
right balance so I can handle myself. The qualification did not go
great, in the mixed team we didn’t hit the target, today it was
a great charge of energy, I found my shot I think it could be
very useful for the next step which are the individual competitions*”.
*BRONZE FOR THE WOMEN’S TEAM -* The adventure also ends on the podium
of the women’s team formed by Tatiana Andreoli, Lucilla Boari and Chiara
Rebagliati who conquers the bronze. The blue ones immediately beat without
problems Slovenia (Cavic, Pintaric, Umer) 6-0, then they are unlucky in the
semifinal with Great Britain (Healey, Pitman, Sagoo) with defeat
only at the shoot off 5-4 (29-24). The recovery, however, comes immediately
in the final against Germany (Bauer, Kroppen, Schwarz) won 5-3 thanks
on the last two volleys with Italy coming up 1-3 down and overturning the
situation with the two partials from 58-57.
The gold goes to Great Britain which in the last match has the better of
Francia (Adiceom, Barbelin, Lopez) by 5-1.
Tatiana Andreoli commented on the race on Italia Team’s social networks: “*We are
a very close-knit group, we didn’t start very well, the others have
raised the level but we kept going. We can take it home
Olympic qualification, it was an excellent springboard for the competitions
individual*”.
