🌎 The word “Finswimming” for every Country…why not?
Today I would like to put forward a maybe crazy idea that jumped in my mind yesterday when I was thinking about a sport I’ve seen during my holidays in Sardinia, the Kitesurf. It is born just in 1999 and it is very famous all around the World. Well in this case this Sport, unless the presence of the water, has nothing to do with us, but I was just thinking what is the Italian word for it…and it doesn’t exist…it is the same for English, and also French, Spanish and so on…Oggi vorrei proporvi una idea forse un po’ pazza che mi è balenata in mente ieri mentre stavo ripensando ad uno sport che ho visto durante le mie vacanze in Sardegna, il Kitesurf. Nato nel 1999 e divenuto incredibilmente famoso in tutto il Mondo. Beh ovviamente in questo caso, a parte la presenza dell’acqua, questo sport non ha nulla a che vedere con noi, ma stavo solo cercando di capire quale fosse il nome italiano di tale sport…e non esiste…è chiamato nello stesso modo sia in Inglese, Francese, Spagnolo e così via……
🇮🇹 Back to the past – Bolzano 1976
The Adige river in Italy was used once as place in which one of the best and hardest Finswimming Competition took place, it was called Coppa Primavera di Bolzano (now it is taken in the Monticolo lake) and it was valid as the Italian Round of the Coupe de Corlieu. It was exactly on May 23th 1976. This is a video from the far 1976 that shows about one hundred finswimmers was competing between the towns of Vilpiano e Ponte Adige with a total distance of 10 kms. At the end the winning went to the component of the Carabinieri Napoli Team, the great Paolo Vandini.The Adige river in Italy was used once as place in which one of the best and hardest Finswimming Competition took place, it was called Coppa Primavera di Bolzano (now it is taken in the Monticolo lake) and it was valid as the Italian Round of the Coupe de Corlieu.
