There were three events for the athletes of the Ravenna Village Sports Center last weekend.
On Saturday 19th a group of rookies were involved in the Gran Prix of Taranto, a race valid for the acquisition of points for the ranking list and which saw the presence of the best Italian athletes in the category. Accompanied by the coach Matteo Tufariello, Davide Tufariello ranked in seventh place after six fights in the up to 50kg category, demonstrating that he can compete on equal terms with the best Italian judokas. Two fights for Kevin Canale, who will be able to demonstrate all his value in the Rookie B category also in 2025. Three fights also for a combative Diego Tuffariello, excellent race and a lot more experience for him.
