Una due giorni da incorniciare per i colori azzurri a Sant Julià de Lòria, Andorra, dove si sono disputati sabato 28 e domenica 29 gennaio 2023 i Campionati Europei di Winter Triathlon.
Nella giornata inaugurale sono arrivate ben 6 medaglie: Sandra Mairhofer e Franco Pesavento hanno trionfato in solitaria conquistando due ori Elite; Alessandro Saravalle si è messo al collo il bronzo Elite; Mattia Tanara, quinto assoluto, ha vinto il titolo continentale Under 23, con Guglielmo Giuliano argento; infine, altro oro conquistato da Riccardo Giuliano nella categoria Junior.
2023 European Winter Championships Andorra – Elite and U23 race highlights
Nella seconda giornata, sono arrivate altre due scintillanti medaglie d’oro: nella staffetta mista 2×2, in grande spolvero ancora una volta i nostri campionissimi Sandra Mairhofer e Franco Pesavento che non lasciano scampo agli avversari.
E quindi ancora infiniti applausi per il nostro inarrestabile Gherardo Mercati che nell’Age Group 80-84 si va a prendere un altro meritatissimo oro (di seguito l’intervista di Europe Triathlon).
Un peccato che la partecipazione a questi Europei sia stata piuttosto scarsa, con la mancanza assoluta di atleti russi e scandinavi al via.
L’Italia si è fatta peraltro trovare più che pronta, dimostrandosi ancora una volta paese trainante della triplice invernale, e ora si preparerà per dare il meglio anche nell’appuntamento iridato in programma dal 24 al 26 marzo a Skeikampen, in Norvegia.
