Athletics talents give a taste in Latsch

A total of 45 titles were awarded at the U14 and U16 state championships in Laces at the weekend. The most successful clubs were the two Bolzano clubs SAB and LC Bozen with eight gold medals each, while SSV Bruneck won five titles. 11 other clubs had at least one national champion.

The SAB athletes were unstoppable among the U16 boys. The people of Bolzano won seven titles in this category. Manuel Lorenzon and Stefano Rossi each reached the top of the podium four times - including the 4x100 m and the Swedish relay. Rossi's 43.45 m in the javelin throw was particularly impressive. Her relay colleague Andrea Bassani (triple jump winner) also won three gold medals. Smeraldie Desamour once again made the girls of the same age sit up and take notice. In addition to her successes in the 80m hurdles and shot put, the athlete from SSV Bruneck also won the 4x100m relay competition.


No national records were broken in Laces, but U14 talent Arianna Vitella came very close. The sprinter from LC Bozen won over 60 m in a good 8.21 seconds and missed the national record set in 2016 by Annika Oberrauch from Eppan by just three hundredths of a second. Among the boys, there were double victories for local hero Gabriel Niederfriniger (60m hurdles + high jump) and Fabian Noah Nussbaumer (60m + 4x100m relay) from SV Lana.
