  • Argento Tra Gli Assoluti,Frascati Scherma, Garozzo P
    FRASCATI SCHERMA, MIELE CAMPIONE ITALIANO PARALIMPICO. ASPROMONTE D'ARGENTO TRA GLI ASSOLUTI Redazione Frascati (Rm) – Il Frascati Scherma ha “saccheggiato” Trieste. Si sono conclusi domenica i campionati italiani assoluti e paralimpici 2013 dove la società del presidente Paolo Molinari ha cumulato numerosi piazzamenti di prestigio. Tra gli Assoluti il risultato migliore è stato l'argento di Valerio Aspromonte nel fioretto piegato solo in finale da Alessio Foconi che si è imposto per 15-13. Nella stessa gara il Frascati Scherma ha praticamente monopolizzato il podio considerato il bronzo di Daniele Garozzo, battuto in semifinale (8-15) proprio nella sfida “in famiglia” con Aspromonte. A completare l'ottima prestazione degli atleti tuscolani nel fioretto ci ha pensato Francesco Trani che ha chiuso ottavo, eliminato ai quarti dallo stesso Foconi. Sempre nel fioretto, ma al femminile, si è piazzata sul gradino più basso del podio Carolina Erba, arresasi in semifinale ad Alice Volpi col punteggio di 15-11. Per lei, comunque, un bronzo di spessore. E la medaglia del terzo è stata conquistata anche da Loreta Gulotta nella sciabola femminile: l'atleta frascatana è stata sfortunata nella combattutissima semifinale persa per 14-15 contro Gioia Marzocca, poi laureatasi campionessa italiana. Sempre nella sciabola si è fermata ai quarti la bella corsa di Flaminia Prearo (ottava), mentre tra gli uomini c'è da segnalare il buon decimo posto di Alessandro Riccardi. Ottime notizie anche dai campionati a squadre che vedevano impegnati il Frascati Scherma: i due team di fioretto (quello maschile composto da Riccardo Cinti, Luca Papale, Tommaso Fabrizi e Francesco Trani e quello femminile formato da Marta Simoncelli, Chiara Tranquilli, Beatrice Guglielmi e Manuela Cerchiaro) hanno ottenuto il sesto posto e la conferma nella prossima serie A1.

    Revue de presse 2017 - 2018 Photo: Augusto Bizzi Photo: Augusto Bizzi Photos: Augusto Bizzi Photo: Augusto Bizzi 1 Revue de presse 2017 - 2018 Le 03/11/2017 ESCRIME : Anstett reprend à Alger La première Coupe du monde de sabre seniors messieurs de la saison se déroulera à Alger ce week-end. Initialement, c’est Dakar, la capitale sénégalaise, qui devait accueillir cette étape. Mais faute de moyens, elle s’est finalement désengagée et c’est donc l’Algérie qui a été retenue. Pour ce rendez-vous, 25 nations ont confirmé leur participation, notamment la Hongrie, la France, la Rus- sie et les États-Unis. Tous les sabreurs auront à cœur de briller avec un plateau très relevé emmené par le champion olympique en titre, le Hongrois Aron Szilagyi. Le club bas-rhinois du Souffel Escrime sera présent avec Vincent Anstett, vainqueur l’an dernier de la première étape mondiale à Dakar, Tom Seitz et Max Hartung, qui tirera sous les couleurs de l’Allemagne. Vincent Anstett aborde cette première compétition mondiale « avec beaucoup d’envie et peu de certi- tudes. Ma préparation a été perturbée par ma paternité (ndlr : il est papa depuis deux mois) et une bles- sure récurrente que nous avons pris le temps de soigner. Je ne suis pas à 100 %, mais comme d’habitude, je donnerai le maximum. » Dans la perspective de la Ligue des champions pour laquelle elle s’est qualifiée, l’équipe souffeloise s’est renforcée avec la venue de Tom Seitz. À 23 ans, il a déjà un très beau parcours : médaillé de bronze aux championnats du monde junior en 2014 en individuel, champion du monde universitaire par équipe en 2015, membre de l’équipe de France en individuel et par équipe, il est n°1 au classement national et 24e mondial.
