Italian sports preparation for upcoming competitions

Overview

In late July 2026 Italy’s national sport federations rolled out multiple training camps to ready athletes for imminent international events. The weight‑lifting squad, overseen by technical director Sebastiano Corbu, assembled for the Mediterranean Games in San Giorgio Jonico (31 Aug‑2 Sept) and a paralympic judo camp in Telese Terme focused on qualifying for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics. Simultaneously, the Italian Federation of Modern Pentathlon (FIPM) hosted its first national obstacle‑athletics camp at the Olympic Preparation Centre in Montelibretti, testing 16 athletes ahead of the UIPM Obstacle World Championships in Beijing (2‑6 Sept). The Carabinieri Sports Centre added four athletes slated for the European Championships in Birmingham (10‑16 Aug). Together, the camps illustrate a coordinated effort to sharpen Italy’s competitors across weightlifting, judo, obstacle athletics and middle‑distance running for major 2026‑2028 tournaments.
