Summer 2014 part 1

Last week, I visited my friends in Pordenone, Italy who train under Master Coach Dino Marcuz and technical director Luigi Grando, and took some videos of all the athletes training but for the moment will focus on this 16 year-old young chap. Mirko Zanni has done it again! After his success at the U17 European Championships 2014, Mirko took home the bronze at the Youth Olympics, Nanjing 2014 in the 62kg category. Below, you can watch a short clip of Mirko’s training a week before the competition, followed by a clip of some of his lifts at the Youth Olympics.Both Mirko and coaches worked really hard in the months leading up to the competition and in training Mirko had achieved 124kg in the snatch and 145kg in the Clean & Jerk.

Well done, we are all so very proud of you!
Looking forward to meeting up with the team again in a couple of months.
