South Tyrolean success series in Grosseto continues

It was three historic days for South Tyrolean athletics. On Saturday, three local athletes, the Tiers 3000 m steeplechase Katja Pattis, the Merano walker Sara Buglisi and the Bolzano pole vaulter Nicolò Fusaro, won the Italian championship title. There were also two third places from Bolzano high jumper Alberto Masera and Marlingen long jumper Anna Menz. On Friday evening, Samuel Demetz from Val Gardena was named vice-Italian champion over 3000 m.

On the last day of competition in Tuscany, another local athlete made people sit up and take notice today. The Lanan U23 pole vaulter Nathalie Kofler once again showed her skills, first jumping 3.65 m, 3.80 m, 3.95 m, 4.05 m, 4.10 m and then 4.15 m on her first attempt. She thus set her own national record, after which she failed three times Once at 4.20 m. Nevertheless, it was enough for the gold medal. An incredible performance from Kofler, who was able to hold her own in front of Francesca Zafrani (4.10 m) and Giulia Valletti (4.05 m).

Four other local athletes showed strong performances in Grosseto. Destiny Nkeonye narrowly missed the podium. The Bolzano U23 long jumper from Athletic Club 96 achieved a strong 7.34 m (new record) in his flagship discipline, which was enough for fourth place in the end. The Lombard native Niccolò Contotto took victory with 7.58 m, second and third place went to Jacopo Quarratesi (2) and Samuele Campi (3), respectively.

Nkeonye's teammate Alberto Murari from Verona was named runner-up in the U20 high jump with 2.06. Murari, who has been with the Bolzano club since the beginning of the year, was only beaten by Massimiliano Luiu (2.08 m). The Val Gardena U20 ace Samuel Demetz, silver medalist in the 3000 m on Friday, made it into the top ten today in ninth place in the 5000 m run. Just like his teammate at SC Meran, Martina Falchetti. She also took ninth place in the 5000 m. Compliments from President Bruno Cappello “I have repeatedly emphasized that, in the end, the results are of utmost importance to an association. As an association, we have set ourselves the goal of particularly developing and supporting athletes in the U18, U20 and U23 age categories and then making them nationally competitive.

Today I can say that we are on the right path. The four gold, three silver and two bronze medals won are proof of this. Don't forget that we were able to send 44 athletes to Grosseto, which is also an impressive number. Now we can enjoy this great and successful moment. We as a regional association will continue to support our young talents, support them and get the best out of them. On behalf of South Tyrolean athletics, I would like to congratulate all athletes, coaches and clubs who were part of this incredible weekend.” All South Tyrolean results at the U20 and U23 Italian Championships in Grosseto: U20 men 400m: 33.
