Elios Manzi outstanding in Abu Dhabi and follows Manuel Lombardo
The Italian men and women are gaining momentum this year especially in the lightweight categories where in each division they have a few contenders. It is not different in U66kg where both Elios Manzi and Matteo Piras were able to go for the medals at the Grand Slam in Abu Dhabi. Elios Manzi had an outstanding day and captured the gold medal against Serbia’s Strahinja Buncic who never made it to a final in the IJF World Judo Tour.
