The students, managers and staff of CUS Trieste and the Audace Sailing Team gathered today at the Rectorate to celebrate three particularly significant achievements for university sport in Trieste. They were welcomed by Rector Donata Vianelli.

The meeting brought together the CUS Trieste women’s volleyball team, which secured promotion to the regional Serie D; the CUS sailors who achieved outstanding results at the international regattas in Livorno and Dubrovnik; and the members of the Audace Sailing Team, returning from a highly successful edition of the SuMoth Challenge 2026. Three different paths, all highlighting talent, teamwork and a strong sense of belonging to the university community.

The women’s volleyball section of CUS Trieste earned promotion at the end of a season marked by great consistency, bringing the team back to Serie D after two years. The result was achieved by the group led by coach Federico Vivona and supported by manager Filipp Dassoni, confirming the growth of the university volleyball movement.

In sailing, CUS Trieste achieved important results in two international events: at the Naval Academies Regatta in Livorno, with first place in the Regata Nazionale Tridente and in the Under 23 category; and at the Elafiti Slalom Regatta in Dubrovnik, where the university crew took first place among the Italian crews and second place in the university ranking.

Completing the picture, the Audace Sailing Team of the University of Trieste once again confirmed its place among the leading teams at the SuMoth Challenge 2026, the international competition dedicated to high-performance, low-impact foil boats. The team achieved first place in the S1 Design category, third place in the S2 Manufacturing category and first place in the S3 Regatta category.

Alongside the traditional exchange of gifts, smiles and group photos marking the occasion, the meeting also provided an opportunity to underline once again the value of university sport for personal growth, the development of transferable skills and the creation of relationships among students, faculty and the University. It also reaffirmed UniTS’ support for student-athletes and their sporting careers.
