Also on the podium was Jacopo Desiderio from Terni, an athlete from the Polisportiva Ternana, which the Italia team fielded in the M2 category.
Overall, Italy ranks fifth in the medal table with 29 medals won. The technicians comment “A precious haul that confirms us among the best master nations in the international field, a great satisfaction for the boys, who manage to obtain stellar results with their commitment and passion. This super Team Italia has once again managed to heat up the heart and give unrepeatable emotions”.
For Jacopo Desiderio, the international experience concluded with great satisfaction and other possible commitments with the national masters team are on the horizon.
