Pool Cantù reached this important goal last year. Twentieth anniversary sealed by the agreement with her “Bianchi“, historical mark that in 2018 and also this year supplied the bicycles to the athletes of the club of Cantù. From 2014 the athletes of the sports club train and compete in the speciality of triathlon. But in 1999 Pool Cantù, created in 1999 by will of two friends, Ecclesio Terraneo, now president, and Antonio Meroni, team manager, was born as a cycling club. Their goal was to do youth activity of good level, without forgetting that in the cycling the category Elite-Under 23 is the highest step before a possible passage to the professionals. Many satisfactions were reached in those 15 years. The victories of Fausto Fognini, included those in the national team, up to the passage to professionalism and other four athletes: Bailetti, Serpellini, Marzano and Osella. This first part of the history of the club of Cantù was characterized by the victory in 2010 of the Trofeo Rusconi of Binago, with Figini and Barindelli in the first two positions, and the following year in the first place reached by Figini on the Wall of Sormano, the last two important successes before the passage to Triathlon. The strength of the group, which characterised the first part of the history of Pool Cantù, kept through the years, let the athletes reach prestigious results also in the triathlon. The most recent one is the silver Under 23 conquered by Tommaso Gatti to the European championship of triathlon cross in Ibiza. The athletes of Pool Cantù differ also from the organisation, together with the association “Qui Laigueglia” of “Laigueglia Duathlon Cross”. The competition – that this year is scheduled on April 7 – is very technical and it is structured on the distances of 7 kilometres of run, 20 in mountain bike and 3 again of run. Besides to the organizational phase, the athletes of Pool Cantù differ also from the agonistic point of view. Particularly Fognini won all the three previous editions of the sports event.
Poole Cantù 20 years of history and great success
