Another good trip for the boys of the San Marino Taekwondo Club to the first Interregional of the year 2022, which took place in Bari this weekend. In fact, the 6 white-blue fighters engaged in Puglia have won 1 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronzes which increase the number of trophies conquered overall to the beauty of 251: (75 golds) – (81 silvers) – (91 bronzes) plus 4 Team Cups (1 ^ -3 ^ + 3 ^ – 4 ^ class). The most medalized San Marino sports club ever! Followed at the corner by the National Coach Maestro Secondo Bernardi (cn 5th dan), who led them up to 7th place overall out of 15 teams (over 600 members), our athletes descended on the competition octagon in this order: Nicholas Battistini (cn 1 ° dan -58 kg – senior) who unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals against an Italian national, followed by Samuel Tarini (cn1 ° dan -59 kg junior) who, on the other hand, reached the semifinal by winning a nice bronze . Followed by the other black junior Crescentini Stefano (1st dan -73 kg) who won all the preliminary matches until reaching the final of the category, unfortunately losing it by 10 to 22, but still winning a well-deserved silver. Then it was the turn of Daniele Leardini (cn 1 ° dan -87 kg senior black) who wins all the matches including the final for 15 to 2 against the home pupil Gianluca Mele, thus bringing a wonderful home gold medal. Below for the colored seniors, Michele Mezzanotte (6th kup -63 kg); he faced G. Rongaldelli losing the semifinal, but still reaching the third step of the podium. And finally, for the cadets, Alessandro Giovagnoli (4th kup -65 kg) completed the trip, losing the final (6 to 9) with Gianluca Crugliano, winning the second colored silver of the day. It is always positive for the whole San Marino school to compare itself with other prestigious sports realities and everything is even more valuable considering that our athletes are continuing to win precious medals in this beautiful martial art and Olympic sport. This is a nice prelude for the next engagements that will surely see us as leading figures, starting with the 1st European Championship of Small States which will take place in the Republic on 16-19 / 06/2022 and follow the 19th Mediterranean Games. in Oran (Algeria) in July and finally the World Championships in Wuxi (China), still with data to be defined.
