Today, at the Central Military Library of the SME, the Chief of Staff of the Army, General of Ca Carmine Masiello, met the champions of the Army sports group, who distinguished themselves at the recent Italian Absolute Swimming Championships in Riccione.
No less than 36 podiums were conquered by military athletes. A very important haul, embellished by the 22 gold medals and the incredible performances of Corporal VFP4 Sara Curtis, who established the new Italian record in the 100m freestyle, surpassing the queen of national swimming Federica Pellegrini.
Il Army sports group operates throughout the country, with four decentralized sections as follows: the summer sports section of Rome, the winter sports section of Courmayeur, the equestrian sports section of Montelibretti and the sports parachuting section in Pisa. The prestigious results achieved in various disciplines by military athletes, both in Italy and abroad, continually bring prestige to the Army and to the entire country.
