10.000m track walk U18 boys

The Italian Olympic in Nanjing, Giacomo Brandi (Sport Atl. Fermo) does not give the role of leader of the specialty: 44: 55.74 with rhythms uniform.

An army at then start and then two timed sessions in the program: but everything is decided in the second.

It renews the family duel between the Roman twins Anthea and Angelica Mirabello (Fiamme Gialle Simoni) and re-enters the athlete of Abruzzo Vanessa Tomei (Atl. Gran Sasso), which had been co-starred in a final U16 in 2013. in Jesolo. Now as then, dramatic racer; change the categories, but not the intensity of feelings, when come into play the jury's decisions that affect the ambitions of these girls.

The fact is that the supremacy in the house Mirabello this time is to Anthea, with the PB pf 24:33.26: also the silver seems to take the way of Ostia, with Angelica, but she was stopped in the Pit Lane Area for irregular walk when there are 200 meters to arrival.

Here then emerge Vanessa Tomei, who expressed her satisfaction with a brilliant finish at PB (24:47.08) and Angelica remains of bronze, 25:41.60 after the obligatory stop. 

During the race, the other two protagonists: the Neapolitan of Sant’Antimo Annalisa Russo, but is then reabsorbed from the pursuers, and the athlete of Almenno San Bartolomeo Alice Rota (Atl. Creberg Bergamo 1959), which instead save the fourth place (25:45.04) under the expert eye of coach Ruggero Sala.
