A feat that the Ginnastica Campania 2000 company came close to achieving in the A2 Series Men’s Artistic Play Offs of the Italian Gymnastics Federation held at the PalaWanni in Florence. In fact, the second place of the Neapolitan club led by Aldo Castaldo, which came behind Sampietrina Seveso, was not enough for promotion to the top flight, which had the merit of not having made any mistakes in any of the double executions on the six match tools. However, Manlio Massaro, Luciano Tartaglione, Emanuele Nacca and Simone Speranza deserve a big round of applause, followed on the pitch by Massimiliano Villapiano and Antonio Scardapane who believed in it until the end in the Tuscan capital. If you consider that the objective was to remain in Serie A2, this year too we went further, with the regret that with a bit of luck there would have even been talk of promotion. The hope is that after third place in 2023 and second in 2024, 2025 could be the good year for promotion to A1, consecrating Gymnastics Campania 2000 in the national Olympus for teams.
Cristiana D’Anna’s CG Benevento only missed the podium in the Italian Aerobic Gymnastics Championships held at the PalaLovato in Gorle (Bergamo). The mixed pair Alessandro Aiello-Maria Chiara Salerno, led on the stage by Angela Calicchio, after fourth place in the qualifications also repeated themselves in the final, thus getting closer to the national elite.
Finally, in the Champions Cup held in Padua, worth mentioning are the four senior finals on horseback with pommels, rings, parallel bars and bars won by Ivan Brunello, this year in Juliana Sulce’s Salerno Gymnastics team, and that of teammate Giuseppe Chiarolanza to the rings; the two finals on floor exercise and vault won by Emanuele Nacca and the one by Luciano Tartaglione on rings, both of Massimiliano Villapiano’s Gymnastics Campania 2000. In the all around ranking, 6th Ivan Brunello, 14th Emanuele Nacca, 20th Luciano Tartaglione and 27th Giuseppe Fiorinelli of Angelo Radmilovic’s CGA Stabia.
