Chituru Ali it takes away the satisfaction of climbing on 100 meters podium in the seventh stage of the Diamond League, the largest international traveling athletics circuit. The Italian sprinter finished at third place in Stockholm (Sweden), struggling with a headwind of 1.0 m/s and closing with a time of 10.19. The sprinter from Como battled shoulder to shoulder with the Cameroonian Emmanuel Eseme (10.16) and the American Kyree King (10.18)after a false start was called.
The breeze in my face didn’t help, today it was really difficult to make good time in the Scandinavian location, but the competitive performance offered by the titanic blue was positive. Chituru Ali, able to express himself in 10.06 last May 3 in Dubai (fourth Italian ever behind Marcell Jacobs, Filippo Tortu, Pietro Mennea) and author of a windy 10.01 in Nairobi, had started well on the first attempt, but also the second shot wasn’t bad, the sensations found on the launch were positive.
The signal ahead of the European Championships in Rome, which will start on June 7, was comforting for the fifth man in the continental lists of the season. Chituru Ali, who has now secured her ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympics through ranking, has beat four opponents of a certain rank such as the Jamaican Ryiem Forde (10.22), the Japanese Abudl Hakim Sani Brown (10.28), the German Joshua Hartmann (10.30) and the Swede Henrik Larsson (10.47).
