Zandarco wins silver, Pircher bronze

The two figureheads from SV Lana showed that they are among the strongest all-rounders in Italy. On Saturday, Gertrud Bacher's protégés demonstrated their talent. Zandarco showed an incredible performance in the title fights at the Quercia Stadium. His record in the decathlon was 6.167 points, which he set last year in Grosseto. Zandarco broke its previous record by 545 points. With 6.712 points, the 22-year-old from Gargazon placed in an excellent second place. For Zandarco it was the first medal ever at an Italian athletics championship. The new Italian champion is Lorenzo Modugno from Trieste, who clearly won with 7.303 points. Third place went to Andrea Cerrato (3). Shortly beforehand, Zandarco's teammate Linda Maria Pircher climbed onto the podium in the women's heptathlon. The 19-year-old from Burgstall took a strong third place with 5.119 points. Pircher also improved her previous record by an impressive 289 points and broke the 5000 mark for the first time. Giulia Riccardi was only one point behind Pircher in fourth place, with top favorite Marta Giovannini (4) from Livorno taking the win, ahead of Eleonora Ferrero (5.496). An incredible weekend for the two South Tyrolean all-around athletes. Nardelli misses the podium Petra Nardelli narrowly missed the podium in the 400 m final.
