Two teams from Germany and one from Hungary were the best in the field. They won, respectively, the 1st - 3rd and 2nd place. The final (Zentarra – Walter against the hungarian Toth – Kezer) was really exciting and thrilling, during 3 sets, points after points. The awards ceremony was hosted by “Campus X- Tor Vergata”.
The Open competition traditionally is a great opportunity to meet other people, play fair games and fun sport. A cheerful and positive feel featured this first international and official Shuttlecock event in Italy. As always, thanks to the Shuttlecock, it’s possible to live a great time together.
And now ... we are all ready for new workouts, new races and new competitions!
