This Championships are probably the most interesting events that we can see
in Italy, because many international gymnasts compete here.
In fact every gymnast can do 1 or 2 performances, and her
score will be added to the other scores of her teammates: for this reason we could define
it a "team" competition. There are three rounds : two preliminary heats (this year in Fano
and Torino) and a final (this year in Arezzo).
I went to see the competitions of Fano and Arezzo, and I took many photos of good
gymnasts. Here there is the list of them: just click on the names to see their photo
galleries. There are three levels: A1 (the best gymnasts), A2 and B.
In every level, there are separeted regional, then interregional, then national competitions
( the finals).I'm sorry, but I photographed only the gymnasts of A1.

Remember...
I wrote only the most famous gymnast in every
team.
The Rubattino Genova in the second preliminary heat competed only with two
gymnasts, because they didn't find a sobstitute for Arianna Rusca, the Second Italian
Champion, who competed in Berlin with Marchesi and Zacchilli.
