Third place for Mancini at the International Championships of Lignano Sabbiadoro
27 January 2015Manuel
A third important place for the young Massimo Mancini at the international Championship of Lignano Sabbiadoro, a result that consolidates its position at the top of the national ranking. First-year juniores, Massimo seems not to be unprepared to the passage to the upper class and on Sunday, January 25th, in the first leg of the 2015 Grand Prix held in Friuli, he has demonstrated to have the capacities to affirm himself both nationally and internationally in an extremely difficult category, the 90 kg. An excellent performance, smart and tenacious, that shown by the cadet by of brothers Famà; Massimo has managed to overcome the defeat in the first round in a crescendo until the final match against the Italian champion Rollo, of the Banzai Cortina Roma, who has been defeated by Massimo, thanks to a superb attack (evalueted waza-ari) a few seconds before the end. The commitment and seriousness of this athlete, who faces every night 100 kilometers to train in Spello, have been well rewarded over the years by high-level results: Massimo was Italian champion in 2014 and winner of the Grand Prix and at the first place of the national Ranking since 2014. Good also the performance of the teammate Giacomo Fiorucci, in the 66 kg category, who won the first two meetings but than lost aganinst the strong athlete of Naples, Giovanni Esposito. However, Giacomo has highlighted a huge technical growth. Nothing to do for the two cadets Carlo Kallcishta and Gloria Giacomucci, who did their best; they were unable to manage meetings against more experienced opponents. A great Satisfaction for the technician Filippo Battistoni who has closely followed the boys on this trip and who has spent words of praise for the commitment shown by the entire team.
