-4 at the start 2024 Italian Athletics Championships, scheduled in La Spezia between Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June. Great anticipation for the 114th edition of the absolute Italian event, which represents the last chance to fly to Paris (via ranking or minimum) for those who have not yet managed to obtain the certainty of an Olympic pass.
Today thedefinitive entry list of the event, which features four individual European champions from Rome as well as many other big names from the Italian movement in one of the last significant competitive tests towards the Olympics. Of note, however, for different reasons, some luxury absentees such as Marcell Jacobs, Gianmarco Tamberi, Massimo Stano, Mattia Furlani, Antonella Palmisano, Yeman Crippa, Andy Diaz, Catalin Tecuceanu and Larissa Iapichino.
In any case, the cast remains of a very high profile, thanks to the participation of the fresh European Champions Leonardo Fabbri in weight, Lorenzo Simonelli in the 110 hs, Nadia Battocletti in the 5000s Sara Fantini in the hammer. All eyes also on Zane Weir in weight, Zaynab Dosso in the 100 (but he will also compete on the half lap of the track), Alessandro Sibilio in the 400 hurdles, Luca Sito about 400, Pietro Arese in the 1500s, Valentina Trapletti in the 10 km walk, the returnee Samuele Ceccarelli and the golden relay runners Matteo Melluzzo and Roberto Rigali in the 100.
Also worth following carefully are Federico Riva and Ossama Meslek in the 1500m, Pietro Riva in the 5000m, Dario Dester (chasing crucial points for Olympic qualification) in the decathlon, Simone Barontini and Francesco Pernici in the 800m, Alice Mangione in the 400m, Ayomide Folorunso in the 400 hurdles, Roberta Bruni and Elisa Molinarolo in the auction, Dariya Derkach in the triple, as well as a women’s 1500 that promises sparks with Ludovica Cavalli, Marta Zenoni, Sinta Vissa, Federica Del Buono and Gaia Sabbatini.
