Oro e bronzo per i fratelli Mosquera alla Coppa Italia

Sabato di medaglie per il club spellano il quale, impegnato in tre diverse competizioni, una a Torino, una a L'Aquila e un'ultima a Ostia, è riuscito a cogliere importanti risultati ed ha evidenziato un'importante crescita collettiva della squadra. Al PalaPellicone di Ostia sabato 15 ottobre i lottatori spellani hanno ottenuto il successo più significativo, conquistando l'oro con il forte Jorge Mosquera Ruiz, il quale sarà impegnato nella "sfida al campione" il 17 dicembre a Ostia e che lo vedrà opposto al campione assoluto 2016, e due bronzi con il fratello Lenin Fernando e con l'inossidabile Edoardo Paccamonti: nulla da fare, invece, per il vice campione d'Italia Jordy Suarez uscito al primo turno. La squadra di lotta è salita sul gradino più basso della classifica per società, un terzo posto più che lusinghiero. Sul fronte del judo, invece, il forte Alessandro Binucci sembra aver ritrovato il guizzo degli anno d'oro e, dopo aver disputato ben sette incontri e averne perso solo uno contro un temibile tedesco, ha centrato uno splendido terzo posto nell'ultima tappa di Grand Prix di Torino, un risultato fortemente motivante per lo spellano che lo vedrà calcare il tatami di Malaga, sabato 20 ottobre: purtroppo, Benedetta Baroni perde sia il primo che il secondo incontro e conclude il Torneo della Mole senza conquistare alcun punto per la Ranking nazionale. Buona anche la prestazione di Michael Balzana al Torneo de L'Aquila, che nell'inedita categoria dei 73 kg. si piazza al terzo posto dopo aver affrontato ben sei avversari. Il club di Spello ha ben figurato a L'Aquila grazie anche a Gloria Giacomucci, Carlo Kallcishta, Klevis Zeneli, Matteo Murasecco, Claudia Napoletano, Giacomo Gramaccioni, Luca Giulietti e Patryk Stojecki.

The athlete of the Kodokan Spello does not suffer the change of category and at the final held Sunday, March 20 at Ostia she was only one step away from the medal zone, stopped by the strong Piedmontese athlete Simeoli, who finished third. Three matches won by the athlete of Spello who, not at all intimidated by her opponents , managed to impose her judo: at the fourth round she doesn’t interpret correctly the tactic to follow and must give up in front of the cunning and tenacity of an athlete repeatedly medalist at the Italian Chamionships. In the recovery round she loses concentration and gives the victory to an athlete definitely within her reach. Embittered for the ninth place in the ranking, Gloria promises to train for the upcoming Grand Prix races: she will workout with more commitment to try to get to the top of the rankings of the National Ranking.
