CAPTAIN TSUBASA

Lombardia demo team captain Simone Baldassarre, flying 10 feet up in the air in this superb football-like pose is only one highlight of their outstanding performance at the Italian National Event Memorial Cavalli this November 18th. Unfortunately, the incredible display of both art and skill was not enough to award them a medal. This conjures up the ultimate Taekwondo jumping technique: passing over the referees' verdict. Because what sitting men do is never worth an athlete's tears.
