Following last week’s sixth edition of the Sportability Day—an event drawing hundreds of participants to focus on inclusivity—the Stelle nello Sport circuit turns its attention to the sixth edition of the Gian Luigi Corti Trophy,stellenellosport.com reported. Dedicated to the memory of the national sports journalist and former national vice president of the Italian Volleyball Federation (FIPAV) from 1980 to 1988, the tournament brings together Under-12 4-versus-4 mixed volleyball teams featuring athletes born in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Volleyball and Outdoor World Championships
The Gian Luigi Corti Trophy is designed as a family-friendly celebration tailored for young volleyball players, combining competition with solidarity. While youth volleyball takes center stage at the regional level, elite international action arrives on the coast as Finale Ligure and the Finale Outdoor Region host the UCI Mountain Bike Enduro & E-Enduro World Championships from Thursday, October 15, through Sunday, October 18. Running parallel to the cycling showcase on October 18 is the Rea Palus Race Navy Edition in Portovenere, an obstacle-course event combining running with natural and artificial barriers across Open and Elite divisions.
