Reggio Emilia trip for the Ravenna Byzantine Archers who on Saturday and Sunday took part in the “XVI ° Secchia River Trophy” organized by the Orione Archers at the Secchia Park in Villalunga di Casalgrande (RE). Double race, double path and even double results. Saturday, on a day of uncertain colors and rain at times, the Byzantines hit the mark three times. Marcello Tozzola takes the measures well who, having closed the race on equal points with Alessandro Draghetti degli Arcieri Re Bertoldo, for the gold difference manages to get on the top step of the podium, winning the gold medal with a score of 326 in the OL male masters category . Good performance also for Angela Padovani who imposed herself on her opponents by climbing to the top step of the podium too. With a score of 278, Stefania Giavelli of the Arcieri Altopiano Pinè from thirty is almost three points away (27 points), winning the gold medal in the AN female masters category. Complete the hat-trick Sofia Fuschini, gold medal for the OL junior women’s category with a score of 281.
Nothing to do for the other OL, CO and AN in the race. Alessandro Farinella, with a score of 286, obtained the 6th place in the OL senior male category. 9th place for Denis Costantini for the compound division and a score of 356, while Fabrizio Ronzitti places 8th for the male senior naked bow with a score of 133. Padovani and Tozzola try again the next day on a different path. Slight improvement for Tozzola who also on Sunday 8 May wins the first place in the OL male masters category with a score of 329, while Angela Padovani keeps the score substantially unchanged by closing with 277 and winning the gold medal for the AN female masters category.
