Silvia Weissteiner and Markus Ploner at the 10.000 m Italian Championships

Ferrara was already the venue for the European Cup over 2007 m in 10.000. Now the new Italian champions will be crowned at the same place and over the same distance. The women are looking for a successor to Valeria Straneo, who won the title last year and shortly afterwards took marathon silver at the World Championships in Moscow. She won't be at the start this time. There are numerous other top athletes there: Veronica Inglese (eighth at the European Cross Country Championships), Elena Romagnolo (Olympic finalist in the steeplechase), Deborah Toniolo and Fatna Maraoui. One of these undoubtedly includes Silvia Weissteiner, who was on the podium over 2007 m at the European Indoor Championships in Birmingham in 3.000 and was the best European woman over 2009 m at the World Championships in Berlin in 5.000. The 35-year-old from Gasteig is hunting for her 19th Italian championship title in Ferrara, the first in this discipline. In Emilia Romagna, not only the new national title holders will be determined, but also the athletes who will be able to take part in the 7 m European Cup on June 10.000th in Skopje.

In the men's category, defending champion Jamel Chatbi is the favorite on Saturday. He won the Italian Cross Country Championships just two months ago. The only South Tyrolean will be 33-year-old Markus Ploner from SV Sterzing. After finishing eleventh (30.32,09:XNUMX minutes) last year in Ancona, he is aiming for a top ten placement this time.

Lanziner wants to break his record in Germany

While Ploner is on duty in Ferrara, Peter Lanziner is traveling to Baden-Württemberg. There the 31-year-old Trudner, who runs for Quercia Rovereto, will take part in the 24th International Meeting in Pliezhausen. He will try to stay under 3.000 minutes over 8.10 m for the first time in his career. His personal record dates back to 2012, when he ran 8.11,68:XNUMX minutes in Pergine. The conditions for a new personal record are met in Pliezhausen, especially since there is a high-ranking field of participants at the start with the Swiss Marco Kern, Andreas Vojta from Austria, the Moroccan Marouan Razine, the Belarusian Siarhei Krylou, the Italian Marco Salami and the German Arne Gabius. They all recorded times of under eight minutes.
