3.000m indoor U23 women
The logic does not give space to other solutions: whether it will be the start of the 11 athletes, should be Nicole Colombi the Italian Champion Indoor U23, confirming the title of 2016.
The other medals should come out between Giada Francesca Ciabini, winner in 2016 in U20, and Eleonora Dominici.
Always the logic of personal best of two athletes would favor Eleonora Dominici (13:18.22 obtained on Feb. 06, 2016 in the same race in Ancona) compared to Giada Francesca Ciabini (13:55.70 obtained in Padua in the indoor match between ITA-FRA-GER last year on Feb. 27, 2016).
