on starting.

5.000m indoor walk U20 men
 
There are eight athletes who have their participation confirmed and present themselves at the starting line.
There can be no doubt about the main reason that will dominate this race: the battle for victory between the two young athletes from Puglia (both born in 2003) Nicola Lomuscio and Pietro Pio Notaristefano.
But the track will not confirm what the insiders thought was.
 
Pietro Pio Notaristefano shoots away at the shot as if to say: "Today is my day; you will see what I am up to! ".
And in fact we are witnessing an incredible solo on a time of absolute level that in Italy in the U20s had only been scored by Giorgio Rubino, Michele Didoni and Giovanni De Benedictis.
These are his passages:
- 1.000m in 4:00.7
- 2.000m in 8:01.0 (4:00.3)
- 3.000m in 12:01.7 (4:00.7)
- 4.000m in 16:03.8 (4:02.1)
- last 1.000m in 4:02.18
 
Victory to Pietro Pio Notaristefano (ITA) in 20:06.38

Second place to Nicola Lomuscio (ITA) in 20.43:38
