Ukraine, Count:

(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 28 – Five Azzurri in action on Wednesday evening in Madrid in the last stage of the highest world circuit of winter meetings. Gaia Sabbatini is expected to make her debut in her 1500m specialty, after the Italian 1000m record in Birmingham and the Italian 800m title in Ancona. Federica Del Buono also participates in the same race, which hosts the world record attempt of Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay.

New commitment for the weightlifters Nick Ponzio and Zane Weir, both close to the Italian indoor record, and in the long Larissa Iapichino after the three nulls of the indoor Absolutes. Instead, Paolo Dal Molin, who is concentrating on Sunday’s meeting in Paris, renounces, while Leonardo Fabbri, announced by the organizers, has made it known that he has finished his indoor season.

The hypothesis of a new 60 by Marcell Jacobs, aired by the same Olympic champion after Sunday’s final in Ancona has also faded: we will see him again next Monday in Belgrade (7 March) in the meeting that will be the dress rehearsal at the Indoor World Championships in the Serbian capital ( March 18-20).
