Sunday morning took place in Scarnafigi, hometown of Damilano Brothers, the race on 30km open dedicated to Giuseppe "Pino" Dordoni.

The results can be found in the relevant section or by clicking on the link at the bottom.

We now present the impressions of Sandro Damilano, coach of China's athletes who participated in the event that we remember it was also valid for the Trophy Piedmont.

30 Km. men

Yu Wei = 2:12:37

split times of:

- 5 km: 22:01

- 10km: 44:38 (22:37)

- 15km: 1:06:53 (22:15)

- 10km: 1:28:47 (21.53)

- 25km: 2:01:37 (22.46)

- 30km: 2:12:37 (21.00)

Good test Yu Wei who walked regularly and with good technique for 25 km. and then accelerate in the last 5 km. For the Chinese athlete (5th to the last Olympic Games) the next commitments will be the 20 km. in Lugano where he will look for a quiet performance around 1:23:30.

Then later this month he will return to China where in Taicang will seek a significant performance on the 35 km. trying to close the race around 2:28:00

15 km.

Ma Zhenxia: discrete test for the young Chinese, born in 1998, still juniors (U20). With a regular race finished in 1:10:07

split times of:

- 5km: 23:37

- 10km: 47:00 (23:23)

- 15km: 1:10:07 (23:07)

The athlete is certainly paying the the change in training and is in a time of no high brilliance. Future events for her will be: the 10km. U20 in Lugano where she will meet China's top juniors who will arrive in Italy next Wednesday. Then transfer to China to compete in the University Championships on 5 km. and then, probably, the race over 10 km. in Taicang. (it is possible that in Taicang she can play another test over greater distances, 15 or 20 km.)

(Editor's note: the athlete does not figure in the results not yet  for any Italian company)

Wang Zhen

Six months without training weigh much. In addition it has not yet disposed entirely bronchitis.

The Olympic champion is 8 kg. overweight than in Rio de Janeiro and the organic condition is very bad.

This explains the time 47:00 (23:37 + 23:23) over 10 km. with which he concluded the race.

The work will be hard and difficult for him, but if he continue to demonstrate little determination and little desire as seen in these 15 days when he returned to training, the season, even before the start, it seems to him already marked in negative
