Another Italian title ends up in Germano Bernardi’s increasingly rich palmares. The athlete from Belluno graduated national champion of para powerlifting in Lignano, imposing himself in the individual “Strappo” classification and competing in the 107 kg category. The Cortina Energym rider preceded Roberto Ragusa and Domenico Giannino on the podium. But Bernardi was not the only athlete of the Ampezzo gym to be crowned Italian champion. In Lignano, Nadia Nadalin Zanon (in the 79 kg category) and Lucia Nicolardi (73 kg) also won the gold medal. Not to mention the third place of Francesca Stanguellini. In short, an absolutely positive result for the Belluno delegation. So much so that, at a female level, the Cortina Energym company finished second, behind Polisportiva Primo.

«I approached this discipline three years ago», says Bernardi, «in 2018, after having always practiced weightlifting in athletics. I was offered this opportunity to try my hand at a new discipline and so I joined the Energym Cortina gym, where there was a team ».

For Bernardi (who has won about 120 Italian titles in his career) this is the second gold in this discipline, the para powerlifting, managed by Fipe (the Italian weightlifting federation). «In 2018 I had always obtained third place at the Italian para powerlifting championships, while in 2019 I had managed to win the title for the first time. Last year, in 2020, the championships were not held for Covid. This year the second Italian title arrived. I’ve been working hard in the past few years to do my best. It is a discipline that gives me important stimuli. In this sense I would like to thank once again The game never ends association which allows me to carry on this and other activities ».
