After the disappointment for yesterday’s missing gold in the All Around, the Farfalle climb to the top of Europe in the two specialty finals at the European Championships in Tel Aviv, Israel.
It was from Guadalajara 2018 that the blue of the Air Force did not get on the first step of the specialty podium and, before that, in Turin 2008.
This time, however, the European booty is the richest ever. Maurelli and her companions returned to the Israeli platform, winning the gold medal in the five circles and with ribbons and ballswhich are added to yesterday’s silver in the All around and team ranking.
In the first exercise, mounted on the notes of a medley “Mercy in darkness and Strength of Thousand Men” of Bergesen / Phoenix, the blue warriors won 36,650 points, winning over Israel, silver with 36,450 points and over Bulgaria, bronze with 34,750.
In the 3 tapes and 2 balls routine, built on Michael Jackson’s song, “They don’t care about us“, close the 38 / o European with the second gold medal. The Italian national team, bronze in Tokyo 2020, closes with 34,250 points, leaving behind Spain with 31,950 and Azerbaijan with 31,900.
“We are happy with our performance in this European Championship both for the two gold medals today and for the two silver medals yesterday – said captain Alessia Maurelli -. It is useless to deny that we regret the second place yesterday because certainly the path that brought us closer to the European Championships promised something else for us. We are worth what we have around our necks today. Thanks to all those people who supported us yesterday and today. The medals of today are also a little bit for them “.
