Padua hosts Italian Indoor Championships - The Throwers in Lucca

Last year the South Tyrolean athletes were not able to win a medal at the title fights in Ancona, but they did achieve some top placings. The young Sterzinger Anna Stefani took a good sixth place over 3000m in 9.38,28:5 minutes, Manfred Menz from Merano crossed XNUMX m in the pole vault and came seventh.

Lukas Rifesser favorite over 800 m Both are starting in Padua again this year and Anna Stefani in particular is given a good chance of winning a medal. The greatest hopes for the title rest with the Puster 800 m runner Lukas Rifesser. He is the top favorite in his race, but has to be careful of Atletica Livorno's young runner, Joao Neves Bussotti. However, the ailing Soufiane El Kabbouri is not there. For Rifesser, the race in Padua is also the last chance to get a ticket for the European Indoor Championships in Prague from March 6th to 8th. South Tyrol is represented in the Palaindoor with a total of 16 athletes. Nine of them are provided by the Bolzano club Athletic Club 96. Bruno Telchini's team has great expectations for the 4x1 lap relay with Gabriele Buttafuoco, Fabio Squillace, Andrea Trionfo and the Bolzano junior Alessandro Monte. “This year we managed to send a relay team into the race at all the Italian indoor championships. We took an excellent fourth place in the U20 category and came twelfth in the U4 category. On Sunday we also start in the general class. “That’s great,” says the President of Bolzano happily.

Will Hannes Kirchler and Stefanie Messner win gold in Lucca? At the same time as the title fights in Padua, the Winter Italian Throwing Championships in the general class and the U23 and U20 age groups will take place in Lucca. Hannes Kirchler from Meran won his eighth championship title in discus throwing last year. He is also the big favorite this year, but was ill last week and is going into the competition weakened. Stefanie Messner is aiming for the gold medal in the junior javelin throw. With a win, the SSV Brixen athlete would also like to recommend herself for the U20 international match of the Italian national team on February 28th and March 1st in Lyon, where the “Azzurre” will meet France and Germany.
