Great Start For Italian Team!

It was difficult to imagine a better start for the Italian team at our Championships. In facts, after the first two finals, the Azzurri squad has obtained two victories and one third place. Niccolò Anthony Salvatore and Nicolò Sartirani closed at first and third place in the men’s competition. The podium was completed by Ao Yurikusa (Japan). Giulia Medici won the women’s competition, with Sandra Lettner (Austria) and Roxana Weinard (Germany) claiming second and third place, respectively.

Quotes Of The Day

Everything went very well, a little over my expectations. I had a lot of fun on the boulders, as they required almost any type of climbing style. It was a great competition. The level was high, there were also some participants in the World Cup. I’m therefore happy to note that my condition is very good. I hope to meet up with these athletes again in more important contexts too.

It went well since I won. Anyway, beyond the first place, I am happy and satisfied with my attitude, which I had been looking for a while: I finally managed to find myself again, I had fun throughout the whole competition. The level was quite high: it’s nice to be here and interface with these strong athletes, who I’m used to meet in the World Cup, where there is a higher competitive spirit, so you don’t really make new friends. Here, however, the environment is friendlier, more relaxing, so it’s easier to socialize and to have fun.
