A trip abroad for the Cus Siena Judo boys after a couple of years of shiai competitions on the national circuit. The three Cadets Emma and Gaia Nastasi and Oscar Capezzuoli, accompanied by master Simone Cresti, presented themselves in Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia, for the important Koroska Open tournament, with 840 judokas from 19 nations. Capezzuoli, making his debut in an international tournament, despite his emotion, managed to throw his Hungarian opponent and pin him to the ground, taking home the victory; at the second meeting he finds a German athlete who cheats him until the end. Gaia Nastasi immediately crosses paths with a girl from the Austrian national team, but manages to win before the limit with two splendid wazari. On the spur of the moment she also surpasses the Swiss representative with the same score, only to then stop in the semi-final with a Hungarian girl due to a strangulation. In the valid match, the bronze medal was lost to the representative of Germany, again by strangulation. Her twin Emma also finds herself facing a representative of the Austrian national team but she too wins with two splendid attacks that decide the ippon. In the second match it is the cussina who has to suffer the ippon from the girl who will then win the category. In recoveries she confidently beats the Swiss representative. For bronze he crosses the Englishman Ewing: and loses by strangulation.
