The yellow and blue team preceded by Rome. Rosa, Ricchiero and the men’s relay are still hoarding medals

PAVIA. The trip of the canoe section of Cus Pavia to Sabaudia (LT) for the National University Championships, the last stage of a long season of competitions, ended a step away from triumph. On Lake Paola, theater of the challenge between the fifteen university teams present, Pavia ranked second in the general behind Rome, missing for a handful of points the opportunity to return to raise the most prestigious trophy in university sport.

After erroneously assigning the victory to Pavia, a recount decreed the victory of Cus Roma, with only 12 points ahead of the yellow and blue.

The women’s section with Mathilde Rosa and Elena Ricchiero who dominated the race in K2 both on the distance of 500 meters and on the 200 before wearing the jersey of university champion also in K4 in the crew was dragging the Cussini from Pavia to the second step of the podium. with Ilaria Garavelli and Giulia Formenton, who stopped in third place in the K2 races. Ricchiero then managed to snatch an excellent second place in K1 200 meters, behind the Olympian Francesca Genzo.

After spending a whole year competing to represent Italy in international competitions, Rosa and Ricchiero have returned to join forces in an attempt to return the crown and scepter of the university sports world to Cus Pavia.

Well the men’s relay
The excellent tests of the women’s section were echoed by the successes in the men’s field starting from that of the relay race K1 + K2 + K4, each year the most awaited race of the national university championships, where the paddlers from Pavia Federico Vignati, Giacomo Combi, Roberto Soldi, Davide Rota, Simone Grossi, Luca Sparneri and Francesco Ciotoli got the better of the photo finish on Cus Roma, only 5 tenths behind.

Combi then returned four more times to the tricolor podium in the races of K1, K2 (paired with Soldi) and K4 (with Soldi, Ciotoli and Bernardi), winning two silver medals and one bronze over the 1000 meters distance and a bronze medal on the 500 meters. To complete the picture of the tricolor medals, the silver of Sparneri-Grossi in the K2 200 meters race. The second place overall does nothing but confirm the goodness of the work that Cus Pavia has been carrying out for years with the precious resource of the Paddle College which for more than a decade has attracted the best athletes-students of the national scene to the city, giving them the possibility of continuing their studies by reconciling the life of an athlete with that of a student in the best possible way. –
