Large South Tyrolean squad at the Italian Junior Championships

Grosseto is hosting this event for the fifth time (most recently last year) in the last 24 years. This year, over 1800 track and field athletes are expected, meaning the record of 1600 participants set five years ago in Brixen will be broken again for the first time. A total of 82 Italian championship titles will be awarded this weekend, 41 in each age group. Most of the competitions take place in the Zecchini Stadium, but the discus and hammer throw are held at the “Nilo Palazzoli” facility. At stake are not only the coveted Italian championship titles, but also tickets for the important international competitions this season. The U20 and U23-year-olds want to qualify for the European Championships in Estonia in Tallinn (U23 from July 8th to 11th, U20 from July 15th to 18th), while some of them also dream of a ticket to the Olympics in Tokyo .
