Italian competitors achieved significant success in international and regional sporting events. In sailing, the crew of “Mela,” led by owner and helmsman Andrea Rossi, won the RS21 World Championship in Cannes, France. The victory followed a competitive nine-race series involving 39 crews from 14 nations, with the final standings shifting during the last day of racing. The top four boats in the championship were all Italian.

In motorsport, Porto Cervo Racing secured third place in the team standings at the Rally dei Nuraghi e del Vermentino.
