Flattering 5th place at the Italian Junio Championships of freestyle wrestling, held Saturday, May 11 in Palermo, for Giacomo Gramaccioni that consolidated at the top of the national ranking. Only two Italian champions have managed to overpower him, but only with a single point of difference, although sufficient to prevent him from regaining the medal, after the silver of 2012. Same fate for Michael Balzana, who was not able to beat his rival. Nothing to do for Lenin Mosquera Ruiz, still too young and inexperienced to compete in a junior final.
