Despite the impressive performance of the entire Italian team and their win in the thirty-first race (R31-1), they will compete tomorrow for third place in the small final against the French team, who finished fourth but won the thirty-second race (R32-1).
Upon the conclusion of the races on the fourth day, Sergeant Cian Paolo, a crew member of the Italian team, expressed admiration for the stunning location where the games are being held and emphasized the fair competition among all the crews.
Lieutenant Jose Rey-Seijo Alcola, representing the Spanish team, expressed complete satisfaction with the organization and the high level of expertise demonstrated by both the athletes and the organizers.

At the end of the races, Team Brazil secured the first position, followed by the Greek team in second place. They will face off in tomorrow's highly anticipated grand final. Joining them on the podium will be the winner of the small final, featuring the teams of Italy and France.
