ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Donato Telesca wins the title of European paraPowerlifting champion in the category up to 80 kg, improving for two times its previous continental record. In fact, the Blue enters the race with 207, immediately passing all the opponents and ritoccando di due kili the (his) European record but in the second test manages to do even better: Telesca, in fact, places the asticella even higher and raises 215 kili, improving of ten kili the European record. The Lucano even tries “the fault” in the third test, asking 222 kili but this time the balancer does not go up. “I am very proud to have confirmed the European Champion – says Telesca at the end of the race – and to have made the new record even if, being very self-critical, I am sorry not to have completed, as I would have liked, the third test. They’re kili I have, which I’ve already done in training, so I’m counting on doing them to the next international race. Today’s was more of a race against myself than against real opponents, which paradoxically put me more tension. But the adrenaline is still served.”.
“Bravo Don has confirmed the European Champion by bringing home the new record – says the DT Sandro Boraschi – It is true that there was no competition regarding the performance of the opponents, but the balancer is however relieved and is not so obvious. By the way, precisely because there were no agonistic ideas and from the tactical point of view our race was entirely organized on our performance, it was not easy to stay focused, but Donato was good at being focused. Giuseppe Sansone, at his first race in the category up to 80 kg”. In group B of 80 kg he had previously competed Giuseppe Sansone, at his first race in the new category. Excellent performance for the 15-year-old of Marcianise, who has won the gold in the Rookie section raising 102 kg; for him an excellent progression with 92, 97 and finally 102 kg. The Team Italia Fipe therefore closes the European with a very rich loot of 28 total medals of which 14 of gold, 3 of silver and 11 of bronze.
