If last year we had doubt on the course, now perhaps we will not have anymore.
Accomplice the day of Palm Sunday and the parish church on the old path has not allowed permission for the race on the old circuit.
It was chosen a new 500m go& back, on which were held in Italian Championships.
On the other hand we are obliged to report that some of those present Coach has signaled a significant inconsistency to make race on a 500m go&back narrow course, 81 athletes to 8:45am which added to those of 9:45, they have nearly 100 athletes competing at the crucial stages of the most important 20km.
Certain that the scenario for the public was of a high impact, but it is equally certain that with 100 competing athletes a chance to understand the correct walk are minimized, while it should be just the opposite.
One hundred athletes in the race are already difficult to manage on a path of 2km, let alone on that like yesterday.
Perhaps a different time, or aggregation of races, would have been appropriate.
20 km senior men
The victory went to FredericoTontodonati with the new personal best of 1:21:56.
