Leonardo Fabbri made his return to competition after becoming European Shot Put Champion in the magical evening of the Olympic Stadium in Rome and has won by force the race held at the Bydgoszcz Meeting (Poland)a stop on the World Continental Tour (gold level, the second most important international traveling circuit).
The Tuscan titanic has sent the tool to 22.38 meters on the occasion of the fifth attempt (meeting record), culmination of a series in which he went over 22 meters on three occasions (also include 22.03 at the third assault and 22.28 at the sixth test). Previously also a 21.92 and a 21.54, a sign of truly enormous technical and competitive caliber. The Jamaican Rajindra Campbell (21.22) and the British Scott Lincoln (21.02) were largely defeated.
This is the eighth race of the season beyond the ever iconic 22 meter barrier: he had set the national record of 22.95 meters in Savona on 15 May (second world performance of the season), but the list also includes the 22.91 of Asti, the 22.88 of Modena, the 22.59 of Lucca, the 22.45 of the continental seal in the capital , 10.40pm in Ostrava and 10.37pm in winter in Lievin.
He is now 27 years old accustomed to expressing himself at these quotastoday’s test served a bit to take stock of the situation and not to try to go beyond the 23 meter wall: in this period the Italian is training and refining his form in view of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he will really try to undermine the Americans Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs.
