Following recent achievements in wrestling and athletics, athletes from Sport Club Tirana continue to deliver outstanding results in international competitions for Albania and the national Red and Black colors. This weekend, the talented skier Lara Colturi, representing Albania, successfully qualified for the Giant Slalom final in Sölden.

Competing under Albania’s Red and Black flag, Colturi finished 16th in the opening round, with the next race set for November 16 in Levi.

In support of the young athlete, Tirana’s Mayor Erion Veliaj noted that Albania’s dedication to nurturing its athletes is producing promising results across wrestling, athletics, and now skiing.

“This summer in Paris, our wrestlers brought home Albania’s first Olympic medals. Today, I’m thrilled to see that the support from Tirana Municipality has helped Lara, our champion, reach the world’s top 16. Given that Lara is just half the age of some of her top competitors, the future looks bright. I’m proud that our sports policies in Albania, especially those of Tirana Municipality, are bringing us such honor,” said Veliaj.

Lara Colturi’s success is a testament to the dedication of Albania’s young athletes and Tirana Municipality’s commitment to supporting their achievements on the international stage.
