European Bronze! Fortunato finishes 3rd and improves his season time – AndriaLive.it

An excellent performance, the one just finished by the Andria champion Francesco Fortunato: in the 20 km race, he placed third and obtained the bronze medal. He also improves his personal season time with 1:19:54.

A great emotion for the athlete, who celebrated at the finish line wrapped in the Italian flag.

Before him the Swede Karlstrom and the Spaniard McGrath.

The standard bearer of the Fiamme Gialle rejoices for a desired, sought and finally obtained medal, driven by the cheering of the public on the route of the Foro Italico park. “Effe”, a 29-year-old from Andria and coached by Riccardo Pisani, who this year won in the relay at the Team World Championships after last year’s individual success at the European Team Championships, is increasingly a protagonist at an international level.

A new joy for Italy, the fifth medal of the event with the Italian team celebrating third place welcomed by the roar of the Olympic stadium.
