The Fiamme Oro Padova representative stopped the clock in 27’08”, just one second away from Jimmy Gressier’s European record
From 3000 meters on the track to the marathon, Yeman Crippa he never missed even an Italian record. The last piece missing from his rich collection was represented by the ten kilometers on the road, a record promptly erased in Herzogenaurach on the morning of Saturday 27 April. Upon returning from the hill the standard bearer of the Fiamme Oro Padua he completed the test in 27’08” missing the European record belonging to by just one second Jimmy Gressier.
Returned toAdizero: Road To Records where in 2022 he achieved the best Italian time ever over 5 kilometres, Crippa exploited the work of the “hares” in the first half of the race who dictated the pace before the “body to body” fight with his opponents where the Kenyan emerged in the final Nicholas Kipkorir who won in 27’04” ahead of his compatriot Sabastian Sawe (27’06”) and the Burundian Rodrigue Kwizera (27’07”).
Fourth place for the Trentino rider who saw himself slip away from the podium, but who was able to console himself with that time which makes us think well in view of the Europeans at home where he will focus on the half marathon as well as in view of the Olympic Games where it will be about 42 kilometers. All thanks to the Italian records of 3000, 5000, 10,000, 5 km, 10 km, half marathon and marathon.
