The Italian women’s team in the F50 class won the gold medal Sarajevo on the final day of the European Veterans Championships, reserved for team competitions. The credit for this success must be attributed to the over 50s Rosanna Dell’Accio, Annick Van Snick, Diana Arrigoni, Marika Sato, Giada Fallani, Cristina Marsili, Aida Guemati, Cristina Magini, Ilenia Paoletti.
The victory in the semi-final against France was peremptory, 5 to 0 with the ippons of Annick Van Snick, Diana Arrigoni, Marika Sato, Cristina Marsili and Cristina Magini. And the music was no different in the final for the title with the Czech Republic and the five ippons scored by Rosanna Dell’Accio, Annick Van Snick, Marika Sato, Cristina Marsili and Cristina Magini. The women of Italy F50 therefore confirmed the European title they already held, having also won gold last year.
These are the results of the other blue teams competing today.

“The veteran European championships concluded with the team competition – commented the two Italian coaches Manuela Tadini And Giuseppe Macri– and we are certainly satisfied for having managed to listen to Mameli’s anthem five times and for the 29 medals won, but also for the missed ones. This super Team Italia Veterani once again managed to warm the heart and give unrepeatable emotions.”
