Leonardo Casula, 15, from Serdiana, reached the quarterfinals of the five-star competition for under-18s that concluded yesterday in Senegal.
B-Boy Leo, as Leonardo Casula is known, saw his dream of an Olympic medal in breakdancing competitions vanish. The young athlete from Sardinia was eliminated by Belarusian Gera, who finished in third place.
This is a significant achievement for Casula, an athlete from the ASD Black Star club in Quartu Sant'Elena, who represented Italy at his best, competing against some of the world's best B-Boys, managing to advance from the group stage to the Olympic quarterfinals. He will have the honor of carrying the Italian flag, alongside Laura Grasso Castagnetta, at the closing ceremony of the Games.
