Cestonaro and Derkach qualify for the last act in the triple jump. Sara Fantini in the final in the hammer throw, Battocletti in that of the 5000m. In the 1500m the British Kerr triumphs.
There is another Tamberi-Barshim case, this time at the World Cup. It happens in the final of the women’s auction, when the Australian Nina Kennedy and the American Katy Moon miss three attempts at 4.95. The judges call the two athletes, but ten seconds are enough to decide that it will be gold for both rather than a playoff. In the same final also the 9th place of Elisa Molinarolo, three errors at 4.65 after two excellent passes on the first attempt both at 4.30 and at 4.50.

The second gold of the evening goes to the Dominican Republic thanks to Marileidy Paulino, the new champion of the 400m. She wins in 48″76 (national record) ahead of the Polish Kaczmarek (49″57) and the Barbados bearer Williams (49″60).
1500 male
—
Another defeat, again at the hands of a British exactly like a year ago, for the middle-distance phenomenon Jakob Ingebrigtsen. In the spectacular final of the 1500m the Norwegian decides to start shooting, but at -200 meters Kerr launches the sprint, is faster and resists the return of his opponents. Success in 3’29”38. Ingebrigtsen, disappointed, finished second in 3’29″65 ahead of his compatriot Nordas (3’29″68).
women’s triple jump
—
After the men’s high, the women’s triple also offers two Italians qualified for the final. The credit goes to Ottavia Cestonaro and Daria Derkach who land, respectively, at 14.20 and 14.15. At the top of the standings there is provisionally the Jamaican Ricketts (14.67), ahead of the Dominican Lafond (14.62) and the world record holder Rojas (14.59).
female hammer
—
A throw is enough for Sara Fantini to go to the final in the hammer. The Emilian immediately launches at 73.28 which means seasonal record and big “Q” in the summary of the qualification. For the blue, fourth at the last World Championships in Eugene and then bronze at the European Championships in Monaco, the appointment is at 20.26 tomorrow evening.
5000 female
—
Nadia Battocletti lives up to expectations and qualifies for the final of the 5000m in 14’41”78, less than half a second from the Italian record set a month ago. A test of great maturity, always racing in the first 8 positions which rewarded with the passage of the round. Victory for the Dutch champion Sifan Hassan who wins in 14’32”29. Instead, Ludovica Cavalli was eliminated, who the day after her 11th place in the final of the 1500m (with the Olympic standard) finished seventeenth in 15’32”95.
