Hey? She was ona of the 6 or 7 medal contenders , she has a personal best shorter or similari to the other athletes Arese expected in final? He had something around 50th time this year, he surely could have done the final but its note a disappointment, there are at east 10 boys clearly better than him who didnt make the final. For the other sport I agree with you that Italy isnt overperforming at all, there are some surprising medals, but also many other medal contenders who didnt bring anything at home. Fortunato this Spring won the most important race of the season beating all those who beat him yesterday...so, yes, he was a legitimate medal candidate I'm not that disappointed or surprised he didn't medal, but I counted on him before the race, I wouldn't have been shocked if he had won Stano was 3rd in the same race Fortunato won, he's last year's world champion over the 35 kms (with a last 2 kms stint that would have given him also the 20km title)...his only bad race was at the Europeans in Munich (and also that day it was raining hard...is it a coincidence? ) Iapichino won 3 consecutive diamond league meets, she jumped 6.97 indoor (silver medal at the Euroindoor) and 6.95 and 6.93 in those DL meets...despite all you can say, with Mihambo out of contention, she was the absolute favourite before the event...and yes, when you're regularly 3/7 cms short of the 7m mark through the season, you are more than expected to improve at least by 10cm in the top event of the year...the champions normally do that and in any case, it's not even the 5th place the disappointing part, it's just the measure...a growing talent like her can't afford to not get the top result of the year when she's supposed to and come home without being criticized. Arese...the PB are relatively not important in this case...the race was on "his" pace, there were no pacemakers leading to a 3.30 mark, he has the perfect characteristics to perform well in this kind of events rather than the circuit meets as he has good progression over the last lap or so and also a good change in the last 100m...he can really do well in a world semifinal with a 3.33 pace (and Cavalli is the perfect demonstration of this theory...you don't need a super-fast PB when the race is just on "your" pace...you need a great kick and some luck) however, I didn't mark Arese as "disappointing", I only wrote that I expected him to make the final because of the tactical nature of a world semifinal race...he couldn't...no problem, he'll do it next time, I'm sure...it's not his elimination that changes my interpretation of the whole team result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
