Another fantastic double for Italy at the European Athletics Championships in Rome: Yeman Crippa triumphed in the half marathon, behind him Pietro Riva placed second. The Italian team also won gold in the team event: there are now 7 most precious medals.
Also the third day of the European Athletics Championships underway in Rome opens in the name of Italy: Yeman Crippa won the gold medal in the half marathon with a time of 1h01″03, behind him Pietro Riva took the silver in 1:01:04. Great collective performance by the blue team, which also won the team classificationtaking him to 7 golds in the medal table.
A clear victory, as a dominator, that of the 27 year old from Trentino, who as soon as he entered the Olympic stadium left the German Petros on the spot, who clearly had no more, and placed his proverbial sprint in the enthusiasm of the public. Enthusiasm that became uncontrollable when the other Italian Riva arrived behind Crippa, first passing the Israeli Referi and then beating the now exhausted Petros on the final straight.
Italy’s fantastic collective performance was completed by sixth place for Pasquale Selvarolowhich he also gave to the Azzurri victory in the team classification, which awards another gold medal and is calculated on the first three at the finish line for each national team. And yet two other placings of other Italian athletes in the Top 10 are also worthy of note: Faniel eighth, Chiappinelli tenth.
Italy dominant at the European Championships in Rome with 10 medals in two days, 5 gold: masters of the medal table
Crippa, like Jacobs, was the favorite on the eve of the race, with double pressure, or rather triple since he was running at home, and managed to impose the law of the strongest.
