The Italian National Team claimed gold in three of the four age categories at the final Youth event of the European season.
The final Youth European Cup of 2025 took place in Toulouse-Tournefeuille, France, from 1 to 2 November – at the same venue as the final European Cup of the season.
TEAM ITALY CLOSES THE SEASON IN STYLE
Team Italy concluded the Lead season on a high note, claiming three out of four gold medals. Andrea Ludovico Chelleris and Matilda Liù Moar both earned their first career victories, while Gianluca Vighetti doubled his gold tally after triumphing earlier this year at the Youth European Cup in Bologna, Italy.
Ukraine’s Rafael Kazbekova was the only non-Italian climber to top the podium, ruling the women’s U17 final and securing her fourth medal of the season – two golds and two silvers.
