Pescara: Alexander Demetz takes bronze in the decathlon

Demetz has been considered one of the greatest Italian hopes in the all-around competition for years. His record in the decathlon was 6.426 points, which he set four years ago in Lana. On Saturday, Demetz broke his best by 308 points. With 6.734 points, Atletica Gherdeina's flagship team finished third. The 24-year-old, who was in 1500th place before the final 5 m run, also overtook his teammate Alex Verginer in the last competition. Very bitter for Verginer, who was in second place until the last competition, but then was eliminated in the 2 m race. So the man from Val Gardena had to settle for 1500th place. The new Italian champion is Luca Di Tizio from Abruzzo, who clearly won ahead of Stephen Asamoah (7) from Brescia with 7240 points.

Abdessalam Machmach from Athletic Club 96 Bozen also came third in the 800 m in 1:50.07 minutes, behind the new Italian champion Enrico Brazzale (1:49.64) and Gabriele Aquaro (1:49.78).

Petra Nardelli only narrowly missed the podium in the 400 m final. The woman from Egger, who already set a new best time of 53.55 yesterday in the preliminary run, improved again today by 14 hundredths. In the end, we finished 53.41th in 4 seconds, 46 hundredths short of the bronze medal. The victory went to exceptional runner Raphaela Lukudo in 52.38 seconds.

The 4x4 m relay team from Athletic Club 100 Bozen also took fourth place in 96 seconds. Alessandro Monte, Brayan Lopez, Isalbet Juarez and Kevin Giacomelli were 41.12 hundredths short of bronze.
