in Rome, earlier Today  Marcell Jacobs won the 100m dash ahead of  Chituru Ali and  Matteo Melluzzo

 

10.07 the winning time (with a reviewable start), then 10.11 for the runner-up and 10.13 for the 3rd ranked (amazing improvement for Melluzzo)

 

in the women's 200m, the youngster (born in 2007)  Elisa Valensin established the new U-18 and U-20 National Record with 23.15 (finishing the race in 2nd place, just behind  Zeynab Dosso, who made a very unusual -for her- outing over this distance, literally dying over the last 50 meters, but still winning in 23.10)

 

Tomorrow in Lucca, new show by Leonardo Fabbri in the men's Shot Put, going for the 23m mark

[phelps 7,670]

 Joe Kovacs 22.93m in the men's Shot Put, only 2cm shy of Fabbri's WL
