40. Boclassic: The best New Year's Eve run in the world

2012 runner-up Muktar Edris - former junior world champion - comes with the recommendation of the world's fastest 5000m time of the year. The Ethiopian ran the distance in Stockholm in 12:54.83 minutes. Joshua Cheptegei will also be at the start. The young man from Uganda is the reigning junior world champion over 10.000 m. Cheptegei is predicted to have a great future. This will certainly be a difficult task for European marathon champion Daniele Meucci, because in addition to Edris and Cheptegei, Meucci also has to compete with last year's winner and former cross country world champion Imane Merga, with the Olympic third-place finisher Thomas Longosiwa and the currently best obstacle runner in the world, the Kenyan Jairus Measuring birech. Incidentally, Meucci will not be the only European champion in Bolzano. He is also joined by the former European cross country champion Andrea Lalli, who has often attracted attention in Bolzano. There is also the newly crowned European Junior Cross Country Champion Yemanne Crippa from Trentino. Runners from Great Britain, Ukraine, Serbia and Germany complete a top international field.

Double world champion Maryam Jamal top favorite among women The women's race is hardly less well attended. Double world champion and last year's winner Maryam Jamal from Bahrain has to deal with the two Kenyans Janet Kisa and Peres Jepchirchir. And let's not forget the currently best "Azzurre", who will all be at the start like Federica Del Buono or Margherita Magnani. And of course Silvia Weissteiner (third in 2006 and 2011) and the young Sterzinger Anna Stefani also want to draw attention to themselves. Runners from Russia and Slovenia are also taking part in the women's race. The British Elle Vernon comes with the recommendation of the recently won European team championship title in cross-country running.

Boclassic live on TV and on the web The Boclassic has been broadcast live on TV on Rai Südtirol and Rai Sport since 1998. This year, for the first time, you can follow the live stream in every corner of the world via the address http://www.raisuedtirol.rai.it. The only requirement is a working internet connection. So it doesn’t matter whether on the Fiji Islands or in Alaska. The reason: The so-called geoblocking is being lifted specifically for the anniversary so that the broadcast can actually be freely viewed everywhere. "This of course fills us with particular pride. We will now pay even more attention to ensuring that everything fits down to the smallest detail so that we can present Bolzano excellently around the world," says OK President Gerhard Warasin. The BOclassic can be seen on Rai Südtirol, on Rai Sport and in the live stream from around 14.45 p.m. to 16.30 p.m. 13 cameras provide spectacular images of a world-class run in the heart of Bolzano.
