On Sunday, September 10, the volcanic President of the Sports Group San Giacomo of Trieste, Ruggero Poli, will propose the renewed edition of the memorial Rodolfo Crasso and the 43rd edition of Inter City in the mail city center.
Already last year the sunny morning was a marketing success for race walking: a good race walking meeting in the main city center on Sunday in a peak time among the people had so far been almost unthinkable.
In Trieste, where there is a local saying "no se pol" (you can not) the organizers under the leadership of Ruggero Poli have shown that "se pol" (you can).
This year to crown the efforts of the organizers there will also be the presence as a godmother of the event of Antonella Palmisano, who in London has won the only medal of the Italian expedition to the recent World Athletics Championships.
The news comes just on the day when the Italian athlete, following the disqualification for doping of Svetlana Vasilyeva (RUS), gets the silver medal instead of bronze in the U23 European Championships in Tampere 2013. (see related news: cllck here)
Marcia dfal Mondo contacted the coach of Antonella Palmisano who showed us the future plans of his athlete.
After a short period of rest and forced attendance at events and evenings, Antonella Palmisano resumed training in view of her next international competition that will see her in China at Sozhou in the "Four Days of Lake Taihu" an atypical race, but very interesting, that curls in 50km to cover in four stages along the natural beauties of the Wuzhong area.
The possibility of a completely Italian team has disappeared, and Antonella Palmisano will be in the team with Lithuanian Brigita Virbalyte-Dimsiene (16th in London in 1:30:45) and two other athletes to be defined.
In his short stay in Trieste, who should follow as the last act of the same season in Grottammare in the last Italian race of the year, Antonella Palmisano will arrive with her boyfriend (and future husband Lorenzo Dessì).
Congratulations to Ruggero Poli for wanting to embellish with this presence the already interesting race that should start to see the presence of Valentina Trapletti (15th in London in 1:30:35) and Nicole Colombi and, in the boys, Leonardo Dei Tos and Stefano Chiesa.
Last hour's news: cofirmed the participation at the start of Francesco Fortunato (ITA) (25th in London at 1:22:01) and second in the World Ranking 2017 on the 10,000m track walk.
