An Italian Championship 50m km road walk with a winner that you do not expect, but it does a very good time and that lowers his personal best of 7:09, (previous in Andernach only three months ago: 4:04: 06) but only three athletes on arrival, enough to fill the three steps of the podium.
Very good test of Eleonora Anna Giorgi on the distance of 30 km finishing with the best time of 2:19:43 and as forecast leaves far more than 4:30, the distance comparison, witj the Portuguese Ines Henriques that fifteen days ago in Port de Mos had covered the distance in 2.24: 25.
These are the highlights of Catania today.
Italian 50 km Championships
Michele Antonelli victory in 3:56:57. Compliments.
Second place went to Andrea Agrusti that over nothing falls below the fateful wall of 4:00:00 at the first 50 km (4:00:07). Compliments.
Third place went to Gregorio Angelini in 4:08:40. Complimenents.
The other, forecasted or not, haven't completed the race. No DQ.
The race highlight was the test of Eleonora Anna Giorgi who should represent the world's best performance over the distance although past results in this race have a rather atypical statistical value unreliable because few athletes have covered this distance in the past.
The fact remains that Giorgi, fresh from training in San Diego, walked the 30km on the following rhythms.
- 5km: 23:10
- 10km: 46:21 (23:11)
- 15km: 1:09:41 (23:20)
- 20km: 1:32:52 (23:11)
- 25km: 1:56:12 (23:20)
- 30km: 2:19:43 (23:31)
Various tests:
- Federico Tontodonati (35km): 2:37:09
- Franceco Fortunato (30km): 2:14.50
- Teodorico Caporaso (30km): 2:15:55
- Matteo Giupponi stopped at 39km after passed at 30km in 2:18.10 and at 35km in 2:42.14
