European Athletics Championships 2024 in Rome: today’s programme, results and athletes competing. Gold for Crippa and silver for Riva in the half marathon

OfMarco Bonarrigo

After the shower of medals on Saturday, there was immediately great joy even in the half marathons with the Crippa-Riva double. All waiting for Captain Tamberi in the high jump qualifiers and Filippo Tortu in the 200 meters qualifiers

After Saturday’s hangover with golds for Jacobs in the 100, Fabbri in the shot put, Simonelli in the 110 hs and Furlani’s silver in the long distance, the third day of the European Athletics Championships in Rome begins very well. Italy wins both gold and silver in the half marathon (a beautiful course in the heart of the city) thanks to Yeman Crippa (title holder in the 10 thousand, who will try to win again on Wednesday) e Pietro Riva also wins the team title. The latter, however, risked disqualification: the flashy “ciao ciao” with which he greeted the German Petros on the final straight of the Olimpico was judged «unfair and unsportsmanlike» by the judges who in the end decided to apply the simple warning, a yellow card of which the Piedmontese – usually a courteous and very polite boy – cannot be proud also because it is a truly rare measure in athletics.

Tamberi, Dosso and Tecuceanu’s time

All while waiting for captain, Gianmarco Tamberi, who must defend the high jump title won a year ago in Munich, an encore of the one in Amsterdam: qualifications at 11.35, 2.28 required to enter the final on Tuesday evening, but it could even less will suffice. In the evening there are the titles of 100 women, 800 men, 1500 women And women’s triple. They are already sure of the the final Ludovica Horses in the 1500s and Dariya Derkach in the triple, while record holder Zaynab goes in search of the decisive round Dosso and Anna Good morning in the 100. Filippo makes his debut Tortuin the semifinals in the 200 with the other Olympic champion of the relay Fausto Desalu. Then semi-finals of the 400 with the surprising Luca Sito, Edoardo Scotti, Alice Mangione, Anna Polinari and Giancarla Trevisan.
