Gold and silver at the Italian Cup for the brothers Mosquera Ruiz
A great start for wrestlers of the Kodokan Spello who won two heavy medals at the 1st phase of the Italian Cup held in Milan, Saturday, Oct. 11. Jorge Mosquera fought with his heart and in the final he holds head, in a harsh confrontation, to the titrated Cecca, several times medalist at the absolutes: only the admonitions given to Jorge prevented him to get on the top step of the podium. A silver medal that does not satisfy, given the great expectations placed on the strong athlete, trained by coach Paolo Iannetti, but he will certainly have a chance to redeem himself in the final round of the Italian Cup, that will be held in Naples on November 22. Good debut instead of his brother Lenin Mosquera who won the gold thanks to a flawless race, proof that the fifth place obtained at the Italian Championships is only the visit card for the next national commitments. "An athlete who is definitely growing, he will certainly let talk about himself - says the regional manager, Alvaro Fontanella - given the young age and the enormous physical potential: we are working on the technical side, and we hope in a great grow”. Nothing to do for Giacomo Bartoni and Gianluca Stramaccia, at their first races and without proper competitive experience.
