A South Tyrolean team has its sights set on the Italian championship title

This year, the Talferstadt team eagerly collected points again and entered the final with a record score of 17.519 points, ahead of Atletica Studentesca Rieti (17.084) and Atletica Biotekna (16.886). The Athletic Club 96 has been taking part in the national finals continuously since 2005. After 2007 in Palermo, 2010 in Borgo Valsugana and in the last eight seasons in Milan, Jesolo, Cisinello Balsamo, Florence, three times in Modena (2017, 2018 and 2020) and last year in Caorle, the people of Bolzano are appearing in the for the eleventh time highest class, the “Finale Oro”. “We have prepared very well for this major event and can travel to Brescia with almost a full team. Our goal is to bring the “Scudetto” back to Bolzano after 2019 and 2020. But it certainly won't be easy because there are a lot of good teams starting in Brescia," explains club president Bruno Telchini. Almost all top athletes at the start At the weekend, the people of Bolzano, who came second last year, can rely on almost the entire squad. The injured “Azzurri” Paolo Dal Molin (2m hurdles), sprinter Luca Lai, javelin thrower Gianluca Tamberi and 110m hurdles ace Robert Grant are not there. Nevertheless, the line-up of the Talferstädter is impressive. Superstar Nick Ponzio, fourth at the European Championships in Munich, is the clear favorite in the shot put, and the “Azzurro” with US roots will also be in action in the discus. Hopes rest on sprinter Lorenzo Ianes for the 400 and 100 m, and Brayan Lopez is registered for the 200 m and both relays. In the triple jump, the people of Bolzano can count on junior ace Federico Lorenzo Bruno. Some South Tyroleans are also competing in Brescia: Nicolò Fusaro from Bolzano is one of the favorites in the pole vault, while Hubert Göller is competing in the javelin throw. Alessandro Monte and Leonardo Badolato are part of the 400x4 m relay. Each individual team is allowed to field 20 athletes in at least 18 different disciplines (no more than two athletes per competition and only one relay). The winner of a competition receives as many points as the participating teams. The team with the most points is crowned Italian champion. Final Oro - Brescia, 17.-18.
