Rounding out the primary podium honors, Maria Ada Militerno clinched the bronze medal.

The broader delegation ensured that Imola Roller maintained a commanding presence throughout the ranking lists across various categories:

- **Beatrice Poggi:** 5th place

- **Carlotta Conti & Giorgia Calzolari:** 8th place (tied in respective categories)

- **Linda Angioli:** 10th place

- **Harmony Nicoras:** 18th place

- **Ilaria Nuccio:** 24th place

- **Camilla Conti:** 32nd place

## Technical Execution and Analytical Standing

The achievements at Calderara di Reno highlight more than mere hardware; they validate a rigorous structural approach to skater development. By navigating the crucible of provincial and regional qualifiers, the athletes built the technical stamina required to execute under national pressure. The dual success of Michele Pagani—who stood atop the singles podium while also partnering with Gaia Manno for a pairs silver—points to exceptional athletic conditioning and spatial discipline capable of bridging individual and synchronized demands.
