(ANSA) – NAPLES, FEBRUARY 26 – Everything is ready for tomorrow’s Napoli City Half Marathon, the half marathon that marks the seasonal debut of Yeman Crippa, competing with the European record holder, the Swiss Julien Wanders, at a large African patrol (including Kenyan Augustine Kiprono Choge) and the other two blues Iliass Aouani and Yohanes Chiappinelli.

For women, it will be a special day for Sofiia Yaremchuk, an Army marathon runner with dual Italian and Ukrainian citizenship. “I am very sad, tense and worried. I have pain in my heart for what is happening in my country of origin – says Yaremchuk -, which at the moment is in great danger. All my family and many of my friends and mine people are experiencing a tragedy. I can only hope that this situation will be resolved as soon as possible and for the best. “

Winner at her marathon debut last October in Venice, used to training in Rome in the park of Villa Pamphili, in the Army Sports Center at Cecchignola, on the Paolo Rosi slope at Acquacetosa or at Nando Martellini at the Baths of Caracalla, Yaremchuk is returned last Tuesday from the highlands of Kenya where she spent a period of thirty days to prepare together with African athletes and the blue Giovanna Epis. “I want to try to beat my personal best of 1h10: 33-she still says she-, I want my strongest half ever, and to do that I will run with the colors of Ukraine in my heart, together with those of the Army” .
