:ITA athletes in good shape, it looks...

 

in :POL Lodz, Zeynab Dosso was second only to local hero Ewa Svoboda by 1/100 in the women's 60m, but she destroyed twice the National Record, clocking 7.09 in the prelims and then 7.05 in the final (the previous record, she was sharing with Manuela Levorato, was 7.14) :yikes:

 

Lorenzo Simonelli, instead, is the official new world leader* in the m en's 60m Hurdles after he won the race in Poland with 7.50 (new NR, also)

 

*in the NCAA season, a guy named Trey Cunningham already ran 7.47, but his result has not been recorded by WA yet (and maybe it will never be, who knows?)

 

world silver medallist Leonardo Fabbri, finally, made his debut in the indoor season and won the men's Shot Put in 21m26

 

in :ITA Padua, in the meantime, Pietro Arese improved the NR over the men's 1500m, running in 3.37.03, not a truly impressive time, but I think it's still worth to be mentioned

 

last but not least, Larissa Iapichino completed her 1st LJ competition of the winter in :ESP Sabadell...she won, but couldn't go further than 6m62 :mumble:

in :ITA Ancona, :CUB Jenns Fernandez improved his 6.52 from last week to a world leading mark of 6.48 :yikes:

 

the Cuban, however, lives and trains (and runs for local clubs) in :ITA since 2022...going for some cheap shopping? :mumble: :fingers:

Highlighting Two male Italian discus throwers today.

 

First Off-Enrico Saccomano who started his season of with 59.87,the reasons i think he's worth mentioning Is because he's just 22[going to turn 23 on February 12.],He has never thrown the 2kg discus so far in his first contest of a season,and it's his fifth best result ever with his Pb being 60.99,from the 2022 season in the Summer,not predicting he's gonna do anything crazy this year but already seemingly not that far off his pb at the very start of the season looks like a good sign.

 

 

And the main one is- Alessio Mannuci Who threw his new PB of 64.19 in that same season opener two days ago[he will turn 26 in early July].Previous Pb was 63.61 from mid July of last year,7 off his current 10 best Marks came from 2023.Obviously it's huge to get a pb in the first comp of the year,He's 10th on the all time Italian Men's discus list,but of the ones still competing,Absolutely looks like the number one right now.Takes second place on the discus world list for this year behind Connor Bell at the moment,I know the Germans will be having their winter championships near the end of February,Ceh will Probably compete in His Winter throwing champs which will be on the 17th,But I think Alessio is likely going to stay in the top 10 for at least February and is worth keeping an eye on to see how he progresses through the season.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
