02/02/2019   Ancona: Italian Indoor Championships U20 and U23






The Italian U20 and U23 Indoor Championships are being held in Ancona (ITA) with the four running races that took place every Saturday afternoon.

 
 
5.000m indoor walk U23 men
 
Only eight athletes at the start.
Giacomo Brandi (ITA) will immediately lead and continue for the whole race.
His split times were as follows:
- 1.000m: 4:17.9

- 3.000m: 12:53.1

Up to 3.000m was followed by Ettore Grillo (ITA) and up to 2,000m with them was also Nicolas Fanelli (ITA).
Fanelli was then disqualified along with Juriy Micheletti, just as Giacomo Brandi forced his pace.
The race no longer had history.

They continue together until about 3,000m when Andrei is stopped by the jury with three red cards and stops for 30" in the Penalty Area.
From that moment on, go ahead for Orsoni, who is always leading the race.

3.000m indoor walk U23 women
 
The test sees at the start only nine athletes.
 
We are witnessing a monologue by Lidia Barcella (ITA) who goes on to win in 13:57.40 after passing the 1,000m in 4:33.7 and 2,000m in 9:12.6.
Annalisa Russo (ITA) had attempted to resist until the 1600m ends, which was then stopped by the jury with the disqualification.

Third place for Beatrice Foresti (ITA) in 14:37.97
 
 
 
 
3.000m indoor walk U20 women
 
Perhaps the most beautiful race of the day, even for the technical point of view.
In the lead from beginning to end wins Andrada Lavinia Lacatus (ITA) in 13:39:72 which establishes the new personal best (previous of 14:09.56 established in Ancona on Fe. 3, 2018).
Very pleasant to see, a long step and a reactivity of feet make this young a resource for the future.

- 2.000m in 9:05.0
- Last 1;000m in 4:34.72
