Euroindoor, results today: Dal Molin and Simonelli in the final in the 60 hurdles

Two more Azzurri in the final: this is the response from the morning of the fourth and final day of the Euroindoors in Istanbul. With the Italian feats of Saturday evening still in sight – with the gold-silver double by Samuele Ceccarelli and Marcell Jacobs in the 60m and the silver by Dariya Derkach in the triple – mission accomplished for Paolo Dal Molin and Lorenzo Simonelli, promoted in the race that on Sunday in the evening, at the end of the event, he will award the medals for the 60 hurdles.

The two Italians are in the first semifinal: the first four advance. Veteran Dal Molin – the silver in Gothenburg 2013 and the bronze in Torun 2021 on the bulletin board – the usual royal start, is third with 7″62. Baby Simonelli is fourth with 7”74. Nothing to do instead for Hassane Fofana, fifth in the second with a season time of 7″71, 3/100 from the fourth with the eighth time of the session. After being potentially obstructed by an opponent in a lane next to him. Elisa Di Lazzaro was also eliminated in the same race: however, the Triestine runs in a good 8″06, 2/100 from her personal fresh, seventh in her semifinal with the eleventh overall performance.

Thus, on Sunday afternoon there will be ten Azzurri in the race (considering also the women’s 4×400 as a unit), all in the direct final: Tecuceanu and Barontini in the 800m, Dal Molin and Simonelli in the 60m hurdles, Fassinotti and Falocchi in the high, Stecchi in the auction, the Coiro in the 800s, the Iapichino in the long run and, indeed, the women’s relay. We have to defend the lead in the medal table and in the points classification before the third day. Beyond belief.
