25/07/2019   Bressanone, Brixen (ITA): week end with Individual Italian Championships in Athletics






The weekend ahead awaits two important races:

- on 26 July at 20:15 (two hours of time difference with respect to Italy) in Baku (AZE) will take place the European Youth Olympic Festival women's race on the distance of 5.000m track walk
- on the morning of 28 July in Bressanone (ITA) the two road walk competitions of the Absolute Italian Championships will take place on the 10km distance.
 
For both competitions we tell you right now that we will be unable to provide you with news and results directly in the day, but, with regret, we will have to postpone everything to the first days of the following week.
 
As for the competition in Baku (AZE), those interested can watch the streaming of the event from 18.15 (Center Europe Time) on the dedicated link of the organizers ( click here )
 
The Italian Individual Championships have a good number of entries: 19 in the men's category and 29 in the women, but at the start we believe there will be a greater number because the race is also open to athletes of Master category.
However, a lot of the most important athletes are absent; those of the team trained by Patrizio Parcesepe who tomorrow will leave to Tokyo (JPN) where, as in the past season, they will do an acclimatization stage for next year's Olympic Games.
 
 
 
10km road walk women
 
We believe we can safely say that there should be no doubt about the victory in the Championship.
Eleonora Anna Giorgi has a time of 43:26 (obtained in Scanzorosciate on 31.3.2019, but which, it is not clear why, does not appear on the IAAF database).
Giorgi is preparing for daegu the 50km. The results of this season are very favorable and interesting and also the new technical setup is well set for a long distance race. We are sure that you will want to take a test on these levels since we think that victory should not escape her.
Her main opponent should be Valentina Trapletti (entered with the time of 45:42.86 obtained in Bergamo on 13.7.2019)
 
At the moment Eleonora Dominici is absent (in addition to Antonella Palmisano for the reasons indicated above) so the bronze medal should be a matter between Nicole Colombi (46:24.32), Lidia Barcella (48:51.01) who has behaved so well recently a gale (SWE) at the U23 European Championships and Vittoria Giordani (48:51.01) who did equally well at Boras at the U20 European Championships.

10km road walk men
 
Absent Massimo Stano and Francesco Fortunato for the reasons mentioned above.
We believe we can say that there are basically two candidates for the victory: Giorgio Rubino, with the time obtained on the 20km of La Coruna at the beginning of June, of 1:20:59. That day Rubino got 40:25 time on the 10km pass.
The other candidate for the victory, in our opinion, is Gianluca Picchiottino (39:50:93 on the track distance)
 
Possible outsiders are: Michele Antonelli (40:27.92) who is batck to the races after the disqualification suffered at the Universiade of Naples, Leonardo dei Tos (41:23.00), which instead is back to the races after an injury that had excluded him from the team for the Cup Europe to Alytus.
On the other hand, we are seeing Riccardo Orsoni very well, who is also taking on a new international presence and Gregorio Angelini who performed well at the Universiade.
