Italian champs have been decimated by many withdrawals, some because of injury, some because of personal scheduling

 

No Furlani, no Andy Diaz, no Jacobs (nor many other good 60m specialists), no Simonelli, no Battocletti, out even the young sensation Doualla (injured, indoor season is over for her)

 

main attraction are now the Fabbri vs Weir battle in the men's Shot Put, Zeynab Dosso in the women's 60m and Larissa Iapichino in the women's Long Jump

 

some kind of interest also for Luca Sito in the men's 400m and a few more youngsters, hopefully improving their PBs

:GRE Karalis just cleared 5.95 (new indoor NR) and 6.01 (new overall NR), both on his first attempts! :clap:

 

EDIT-He missed his first attempt at 6.08 and is not going to attempt any more jumps.

top of day #1

 

5km Race Walking: Francesco Fortunato wins the race in a new world record time of 17.55.65 (previous WR held by :RUS Mikhail Schennikov since February, 1995 with 18.07.08; previous NR held by Athens 2004 20km Olympic Champion Ivano Brugnetti in 18.08.86)

 

men's High Jump: 2024 junior world silver medallist Matteo Sioli improves to 2.28m to win the competition on the last jump against Manuel Lando (2.26m at the 1st attempt, while Sioli did it at the 2nd, so he needed to clear a better hight to win)

 

men's Long Jump: 16-year young Daniele Inzoli wins with a 7.93m jump (U-18 NR, 6th European U-18 all time)

 

women's Long Jump: just an ordinary 6.69m jump was enough for Larissa Iapichino to take another Italian title at home

 

looking at Tomorrow, men's Shot Put and women's 60m should be the highlight of the day, with both men and women's 400m also to be taken into consideration

Nice to see a decent sized crowd for this! Also I spot Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou in the crowd :d

    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
