5.000m track walk U18 girls
There was a battle between three athletes and so it was.
Martina Casiraghi (ITA) immediately took the lead, passing the first 1,000 meters in 5: 03.0.
Behind her Ida Mastrangelo (ITA), Simona Bertini (ITA) and for some laps also Sara Buglisi (ITA).
Even at 2.000m Martina Casiraghi is leading in 9:58.5. Despite the fastest pace the two main pursuers Mastrangelo and Bertini are closer.
At about 2.800m Martina Casiraghi is catched by the two pursuers, but immediately Ida Mastrangelo is stopped by the jury in the Penalty Area, for 30".
In the meantime, Simona Bertini has just left Martina Casiraghi and passes the lead at 3,000m in 14:51.8.
Ida Mastrangelo is not of the idea to lose at least the silver, and when she comes out of the Penalty Area she tries to reach Martina Casiraghi who is a little bit in trouble and is only 80m in front of her.
Unfortunately, she is punished by the jury with the fourth red card that involves the disqualification (it is the second in the last two races).
Simona Bertini has meanwhile detached Martina Casiraghi and flies to victory after being passed at 4.000m in 19: 34.2
Victory for Simona Bertini in 24:26.98 new personal best (previous of 24:48.38 established in Forlì on May 24, 2018)
Second place to Martina Casiraghi in 24:56.73 nuovo personal best (previous of 24:57.96 established in Mariano Comense on April 22, 2018)
Third place for Angela Di Fabio in 25:14.98 that the best on Alessia Titoni (25: 36.04)
