First seasonal race outdoors for the blue that closes according to the Jamaican McLeod (8.33)
At the outdoor seasonal debut in Atlanta, Mattia Furlani flies to 8.28 and is second in the long race won by the Jamaican McCleon (8.33, +1.6). The indoor world champion printed the podium measure in the first jump (+1.7 the wind) on the raised platform of the Piedmont Park, in the United States. Then for the blue of the Fiamme Oro, two other jumps came over 8 meters: 8.17 and 8.03.
For Furlani it is an important general test with a view of the magical night of the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea scheduled for June 6 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the Italian stage of the Wanda Diamond League. “Unfortunately I did not have the complete run -up, I took 18 steps but without preparation – explained Furlani from Atlanta -. However, I managed to adapt and bring home an excellent result. The second null could really be worth so much. Next stop: Rome!”.

Furlani, Olympic bronze, has returned from two weeks of training to Clermont, Florida, and was at the first race almost two months after the Nanchino World Cup who crowned him indoor world champion. 3 other athletes exceeded 8 meters: Emanuel Archibald (8,22/0.0), Nikaoli Williams (8,13/+1.6) and Thobias Montler (8.09/+1.4). Tomorrow Furlani will return to Italy to prepare the Golden Gala where he will find the Greek Olympic and World Champion Miltiadis Tentoglou.
