Piccoli and Callegari qualified with the exercise “Le Guerriere”, evocative after Covid 19. The first is at the debut, the second placed fifth in Rio
BARCELONA
Winning the pass was more than within reach, but they had to wait 15 months and the evolution of a pandemic to make the dream of the second consecutive Olympics come true. A ticket to Tokyo that they wanted to seal with an exercise with a strong symbolic value, not surprisingly called “the Warriors”: the representation of the world wearing armor and getting up after being brought to its knees by the virus. The Italsincro of Beatrice Callegari and Enrica Piccoli secures first place at the Pre-Olympic in Barcelona, hitting the five-circle qualification in the team exercise.
A success that sees two champions forged at Montebelluna as protagonists: Callegari da Fossalunga, class ’91, among the veterans of the group, is in the second Olympic adventure, after the historic fifth place in Rio 2016; Enrica da Caerano, class of ’99, will experience the Games for the first time, but the curriculum, between the World and European Championships, is already relevant. In the free, the blue team gets 93.2332 points (execution 27.9000), closing the two Catalan days with a score of 184.0249. There were three passes up for grabs, but the victory (read the juries) gives another perspective in Japan: Spain exceeded by two points, silver at 182.5206. Further behind Greece, with 175.9000. Now in Tokyo (2-7 August) Callegari and her companions’ goal will be to do better than the Brazilian Games, “dancing” between the fourth and third step. Considering Russia and China out of reach, an attempt will be made to compete for an annals result against Ukraine and Japan. The exercise of the girls of the Giallombardo city is very suggestive, exalting themselves on the notes of “Final Fight” by the Neapolitan author Antongiulio Friulio, who boasts collaborations with Marina Rei, Nino D’Angelo and Giorgia. An accompaniment of sure impact to testify the ability of the world to recover and see the light again after the long tunnel of the pandemic. A long tunnel that has upset the life of Italsincro, which returned to competitions two years after the World Cup. Splendid answer: pass and first 93.0000 of the Italian history. –
