Ventimiglia. The PalaBarton of Perugia hosted the last one weekend the national final of the Italian Judo Championships, male and female, reserved for athletes with the minimum degree of black belt. Around 400 athletes from all over Italy were at the starting line for the most important national competition.
The colors of Judo Club Ventimiglia were represented in the category up to 57kg by the athlete Maruska Iamundo, as always followed in the race by coach Antonella Iannucci. The 57kg category is always very complex both in terms of number and high technical/competitive level of the participants. Maruska played 6 matches, winning 5 for Ippon (i.e. achieving a perfect technique before the end of regulation time).
Epic race, which started all uphill, right from the first match, due to the flare-up of a rib injury suffered in training, but Maruska is not discouraged, she grits her teeth, fights and moves forward in the scoreboard, achieving an excellent third place the final.
Yet another demonstration of the great athletic value of this girl, born and raised in the Judo Club Ventimiglia nursery. The number of medals and podiums won at national level by Maruska is incredible but every time she is a new and indescribable emotion.
We are extremely satisfied with this great result. Maruska had an excellent race, despite her not being in perfect physical shape, and she achieved her goal of a medal. The conditions were truly difficult but Maruska with her heart and head succeeded in the task: a true example for young athletes who are approaching the practice of Judo.
We work every day with the utmost commitment in favor of our boys and girls and we are proud to have represented our city, Ventimiglia, in sport at a national level for 53 years. In two weeks it will be the turn of the young Riccardo Daltoè who, having won the regional qualifying stages, will take part in the national final of the Italian Under15 Championships in Olbi
