Alessandro Stan secured the men’s singles title at the Piemonte regional badminton championships, leading a dominant showing by Boccardo Novi at the regional tournament, Il Piccolo reported.
The club from via Ferrando Scrivia finished among the top three teams in the regional movement alongside Alba Shuttle and Acqui Badminton. Boccardo Novi athletes claimed four podium finishes across five contested disciplines during the weekend competition.
Stan claimed the gold medal in the men’s singles draw after defeating Monchiero of Alba in the final match. Monchiero reached the title match by overcoming Tommaso Trezza in the quarterfinals, preventing an all-Novi sweep of the top four positions.
Ahmad Nasir and Stefano Torrielli shared the third-round podium by taking bronze medals.
Valentina Avvento reached the women’s singles semifinals before losing a close third set 14–16 to Avidano from Acqui Terme. Avvento returned in the women’s doubles event to capture a silver medal alongside Benzi of Acqui.
Camilla Negri of Novi and Adele Bobbio of Acqui paired up outside club structures to win the women’s doubles gold medal. Nasir and Trezza added a bronze medal in the men’s doubles tournament after falling in three tight sets to the pair of Di Liberto and Suardi.
The four podium finishes provide momentum for the squad as the historic Boccardo gym prepares to host more than 100 athletes from across northern Italy. The facility will stage the final major indoor Challenge of the season on the weekend of November 13 and 14.
