Over 25 Italian and foreign athletes<br />
of all ages made the ProKite<br />
Cup 2018 a memorable event,<br />
rich in good vibes. Organized by<br />
the ProKite of Alberto Rondina<br />
in the lagoon of the Stagnone of<br />
Marsala, Sicily (Italy), the event<br />
was the first stop of the Italian<br />
Freestyle Championship 2018.<br />
The course track was set up in<br />
the waters just in front of Alby<br />
Rondina’s Sports Centre and the<br />
heats took place with the athletes<br />
divided in the following categories:<br />
Men Open, Men Youth<br />
(born in year 2000 onwards),<br />
Master (born from 1974 to 1983)<br />
and Grand Master (born in and<br />
before 1973).<br />
During the three-day-competition<br />
the Stagnone did not disappoint<br />
and gave the competing athletes<br />
constant wind and flat-water conditions<br />
thanks to which everyone<br />
was able to prove his own abilities<br />
for the delight of the public.<br />
At the end of the competition,<br />
commented live and inflamed by<br />
Alby Rondina himself, the victory<br />
went to the current Italian titleholder<br />
Gianmaria Coccoluto<br />
who charmed the judges with his<br />
repertoire of powerful and stylish<br />
tricks. Behind him in second<br />
place the Sardinian Francesco<br />
Contini who proved once again<br />
strong nerves and a solid technique,<br />
and the Tuscan Jacopo<br />
Cantini who despite an ankle injury<br />
during the training sessions<br />
managed with his class to win the<br />
third step of the podium.<br />
The performance of the young<br />
Jeremy Burlando deserves also to<br />
be mentioned, he’s only 12 and<br />
already boasts the Junior World<br />
Champion title, whereas special<br />
get well soon wishes would go<br />
to Davide Fontanesi, who sadly<br />
got injured during the event. We<br />
trust that Davide will get back<br />
stronger than ever and fight for<br />
the title with the determination<br />
that he has always shown in the<br />
water.<br />
It was an interesting choice by<br />
the organization committee the<br />
one to include in the competition<br />
an Amateur Open to which registered<br />
the foreign riders who are<br />
consistent regulars in this lagoon.<br />
The Dominican Adeuri Corniel<br />
won this competition, followed<br />
by Gianmaria Coccoluto and Valentine<br />
Rodrigues, respectively in<br />
second and third position.
