The protagonist of the Triveneto Meeting, affected by very cold bora, is Filippo Tortu: the financier, with elegant and effective action, wins the 100 in 10 “14 with wind just above the norm (+2.4 m / s), with a good launch which allows him to recover against the Ivorian Arthur Cissè (10 ”19), who as always came out very well from the blocks. A good progress compared to the 10 ”24 (+2.1) of three weeks ago in Nairobi. He goes very well to the other announced protagonist, Gimbo Tamberi, in the high of the Brazilian Thiago Moura (2.23), sixth with 2.15 after a zero at 2.20 and two at 2.25. Wind aside, to limit the Olympic champion, a ruined platform: “I risked breaking my knee in warming up because at the deadlift I slipped with my foot by 30-40 centimeters – wrote Tamberi on social media after the race -: I decided anyway to make jumps in the competition only for all those who had come to support me, but I had to jump with a run that I used when I was 17, much slower and more controlled ”. Stefano Sottile jumps 2.20. In the rest of the meeting 13 ”08 (+2.5) of Luminosa Bogliolo in the 100 hs (in tights) and retirement after 40 meters due to a muscular problem of the South African 400m world record holder, Wayde Van Niekerk, in the 200.
