Waterpolo: success for the tournament organized with Pallanuoto Trieste and Waterpolo Project

Whilst the rain fell incessantly and the Bora made its voice heard with gusts of over 100 km/h, Barcolana Waterpolo took place in the San Giovanni swimming pool, an event organised in collaboration with Pallanuoto Trieste SSD and Waterpolo Project A.S.D.

Around sixty athletes belonging to four teams took to the water - Under 18 Pallanuoto Trieste, Kimbo Kimbo (selection of athletes from the Triveneto region), Polisportiva Lizzi and Waterpolo Project A.S.D. - who competed in an exciting four-way tournament. The Under 18 team from Pallanuoto Trieste conquered the final victory.

“Fantastic event,” declared Dean Bassi, vice-president of the Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano who participated in the tournament as a player. “It was beautiful to see the blue of the pool water blend with the colours of Barcolana57 presented by Generali. Barcolana is an event where passion meets all possible waters, including those of water polo fatigue, a sport that requires commitment, sacrifice and dedication of the highest level. It’s a discipline where you cannot cheat: efforts and commitment are always rewarded. We wanted to include it precisely for this reason. After last year’s demonstration match, this year we proposed a four-way tournament and for next year we aim to grow even more.”
