And we try to recover after yesterday’s shock trying to return to the “walked” walk.
This weekend will be held in Rieti the Italian Track Championship, 2016.
The two walking events will take place Sunday, June 26 with the 10km road, but with the arrival on track at 9:00 for men and for women at 10:15.
10km road walk men
Absent for technical decision the athletes of most interest that are preparing the Olympic Games (Marco De Luca and Matteo Giupponi) also absent Giorgio Rubino, the men's race should have as favorite the athlete of the moment, Francesco Fortunato, that during this June has literally demolished his personal bests: 10,000m track walk (39:46.25 in Tunis - TUN on June 4, 2016 where he won in the Mediterranean Games U23) and 5.000m track walk (18:53.91 in Modena on June 16, 2016 where he won the University National Championships).
Fighting for the victory with Francesco Fortunato the usual group of friends-enemies composed by Leonardo Dei Tos, Federico Tontodonati, Vito Minei, Michele Antonelli, Gianluca Picchiottino and Massimo Stano back to the races only in Alytus (LTU).
10km road walk women
Also in this race will be absent the athletes of most interest (Eleonora Giorgi, Antonella Palmisano, Elisa Rigaudo) also for technical decision.
In the list of 33 entered athletes stand out the names of Valentina Trapletti (PB di 1:31:28 ottenuto ad Alytus il 10.6.2016) and Noemi Stella that should contend for the Italian title.
The completion of the podium should be a deal between Mariavittoria Becchetti, Nicole Colombi and Eleonora Dominici both back after the disqualification in U23 Championships in Bressanone, perhaps it appeared, to many, avoidable.
It will be part of the group of starters also Rossella Giordano (year of birth 1972): we do not know how she walk for fun or for passion, or both. The fact is that, with her always beautiful walk, she makes us fortify with italian race walk that in these times so needs to be restored to its former glory.
2015 Champions
In men the title had been won by Federico Tontodonati in 40:36
in women the title had been won by Elisa Rigaudo in 43:08
