The Csr Ju Jitsu Italia team from Ferrara secured three medals at the 2026 Fijlkam Coppa Italia, held in Leinì, near Turin, from October 9 to 11. The tournament, which featured nearly 550 athletes from across Italy, served as a significant test for the club’s Fighting System competitors.
Medalists and Results in Leinì
The Ferrara-based squad saw success across multiple age and weight divisions during the three-day event. On Saturday, October 10, Amelia Cesaretti competed in the Under 14 category (up to 52kg), earning a second-place finish.
The momentum continued on Sunday, October 11, when coach Davide Conti transitioned from his support duties to the tatami. Conti claimed the gold medal in the Master 4 category (up to 77kg). In the same weekend, Giulia Era, competing in her first major tournament, secured a third-place finish in the Adult category (up to 63kg), according to reports from Estense.com.
Performance of Matteo Noce
In the Adult category (up to 77kg), Matteo Noce faced a deep field of ten competitors, a group identified by team staff as containing several high-level practitioners. Noce recorded a victory by full ippon but ultimately fell in two matches against opponents who finished the tournament in third place.
Coaching Assessment of the Technical Level
Following the conclusion of the event, Davide Conti noted the intensity of the competition. “It was a demanding weekend; the technical level of the participants was very high,” Conti said. He emphasized that the results reflect the ongoing development and improvement of the Ferrara section, adding that the team is currently awaiting the official competition calendar for the upcoming year to finalize their training schedule.
