U18 Italian Championship in Jesolo: 33 South Tyroleans at the start

This year the U18 Italian Championship is not the traditional conclusion to the competition season. After the U18 World Cup in Donetsk and the EYOF in Utrecht, another international highlight awaits the young athletes with the Gymnasiade in Brasilia. Italy will send 37 athletes to the race in Brazil. The competitions in Jesolo are taken as the final yardstick.

Andreas Zagler has his sights set on the javelin throwing title At the seaside resort on the Adriatic, South Tyrol is represented by 33 young athletes from eleven different clubs. The great hope is javelin thrower Andreas Zagler. The 17-year-old from the Bozen Running Club has the second best distance this year with 62,28m. Only Massimo Ros of Libertas Sanvitese continued to throw (62.45).

It will be very difficult for all other local athletes to have a say in the medal awarding; the goal is rather to place in the top ten. Especially among the girls, where Petra Nardelli from the Bozen Running Club reported the seventh best time in the 400m (57.39 seconds). The middle-distance runner from Meran Anna Lena Hofer (10:29.98 over 3000m) and javelin thrower Stefanie Messner (39.75 m) from Brixen have the eighth best values in the respective participant lists. Caren Agreiter from Pusteria (1:04.59 in the 400m hurdles), Alexandra Larch from Vipiteno (10:31.50 in the 3000m), and Franziska Kofler from Lanan (1,65m in the high jump) also have their sights set on a top result.
