ITALY RISING

🇮🇹 ITALY RISING: A STRONGHOLD FOR WKN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
In recent years, Italy has firmly established itself as a stronghold for the WKN, thanks to the consistent organization of high-level national championships and the rising quality of competition across the country.
Italian WKN titles have gained significant prestige, often carrying more weight and legitimacy than some so-called continental or even world titles on the international scene. These championships are not only competitive; they reflect the true essence of our sport.
At WKN, we believe that our foundation lies in the national structure. It is essential and virtually vital to continue developing and strengthening our national titles, because without solid roots, the sport cannot grow globally. Italy is a prime example of how building from the base leads to lasting impact.
The WKN World Office is proud to work closely with a group of committed and professional promoters who are driving this success: Carlo Barbuto, Riccardo Leca, Nicola Jakini, Ermirian Bici, Umberto Biglia, Elia Sarafin, and Nicolas Curci who is preparing to launch his own WKN event soon, adding even more momentum to the Italian scene.
Together, they are delivering events that elevate our sport, give real value to national titles, and prepare athletes for international glory.
Italy isn’t just participating in the WKN’s future, it’s helping to shape it.
