Junior Challenge
Junior challenge is the new cool!
San Gervasio Pro-Am is obviously famous for being the oldest pro event in Europe. The event was launched nine years ago by Matteo Luzzeri’s motivation and the passion of the whole staff from Jolly Ski School: Matteo’s father Fedele, Claudio Bennati, former world champion Guenadi Guralia, Matteo’s sister Michaela, and all members of the lake’s crew. This tournament is now famous on the junior level for “the competition inside the competition.
The Junior Challenge, supported by Radar Skis, is a unique invitational tournament. During the Pro-Am, the four best juniors (men and women U17) in the world are invited to compete against each other for a special title. The first round determines the seeding for the first heat of a head-to-head. The semi-finals and finals are like the pros: Head to Head!
The level of skiing is not the only thing that’s high; the tension on the shoreline is ON! There is a really special enthusiasm around this event, and it is a true pleasure to watch.
