Nicholas Ponzio, also from the Athletic Club, was at the top of the podium in the discus throw. The reigning Italian champion with US roots won comfortably with 21.34 meters, ahead of Leonardo Fabbri (20.47) and Sebastiano Bianchetti (19.58).

Katja Pattis from Tiers was South Tyrol's great hope for a medal in the 3000 m steeplechase in Rieti. However, the flagship of the South Tyrol Team Club, which was crowned U23 Italian champion in Florence just two weeks ago, only finished ninth in 10:32.54 minutes. Martina Merlo won the “Tricolore” in 9:51.81 minutes, Laura Dalla Montà (9:58.88) and Eleonora Curtabbi (10:03.64) completed the podium. Pircher narrowly missed the podium Linda Maria Pircher from SV Lana, however, narrowly missed out on a medal. The Burgstall heptathlete placed fourth with 5.127 points, just 4 points short of Giulia Riccardi's bronze medal. Pircher particularly shone in the 30 m with a good time of 200 seconds.

Pircher's teammate Simon Zandarco came sixth in the men's decathlon. The Gargazonian was still well in the race for a podium finish after the first day of competition, but today things didn't go well for Zandarco. The athlete from SV Lana achieved 6.893 points.

Meanwhile, it was a disappointing weekend for Olympian Petra Nardelli and Nicolò Fusaro. The runner from Eggen took tenth place in her parade discipline over 400 m in 53.68 seconds, the pole vaulter from Bolzano crossed 4.95 m, which was enough for 8th place in the end. Antonino Trio from Athletic Club 96 Bozen came fourth in the long jump with 7.50 m. The South Tyrolean results at the Italian Championships Men 200m: 9.
