Ostia hosted the finals of the Italian under 18 championships (cadets and cadets) of judo organized by Fijlkam on the weekend of 5 and 6 March. Numerous athletes and athletes from all over Italy are present, which bodes well for the next engagements, in consideration of the long period of stoppage due to the pandemic that has limited the activity of these judoca.
Although our region and our province have been among the most affected, our representatives return home with a prestigious bronze conquered by Mattia Pellizzaro category at the limit of 50 kg, at his second medal in the championships, a seventh place by Noemi Pignatiello of the Pro Homeland Judo of Busto Arsizio category at the limit of 70 kg and two ninth places of Assi Nicolò category over 90 kg and Molinaro Giulio category at the limit of 73 kg of Robur et Fides Varese.
The race of Mattia Pellizzaro who conquers the podium after a long and exhausting race that saw him challenge six opponents on the mat of the Pala Pellicone, winning five matches for ippon and losing only one.
Brilliant seventh place also for Noemi Pignatiello, fresh from a long injury that undermined his preparation and with only a dozen workouts “in the legs”. The standard bearer of the Pro Patria won two matches for ippon and surrendered to the third “solo” after 10 minutes of intense fighting without suffering any disadvantage. This result bodes well for the rest of the season.
Congratulations to both a Nicolò Assi che to Giulio Molinaroboth Roburini athletes, who get a flattering ninth place in their categories with hippos.
