(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 01 – Success for Massimo Stano at the 20 km walk Italian championships. In Alberobello, in his Puglia, the Tokyo Olympic champion takes the stage, attacking in the last three kilometers to conquer the title with a time of 1h21: 21. And he completes the double test of close engagements at the top, eight days after the success of Dudince, in Slovakia, where with 2h29: 09 on the 35 km he largely achieved the standard for the July World Championships in Eugene. In the specialty that will instead see him engaged at the European Championships in Munich in August, he wins the third tricolor of his career over this distance.

“It was a lot of fun – smiles Stano – even if tougher than a week ago. I really wanted to win in my land, as an Olympic champion, on a wonderful course. In my legs I felt the 35 km of last Saturday and so I chose to leave quietly. An important check to evaluate the recovery within a week and therefore the possibility of doubling at the World Cup next year, those of 2023 in Budapest “. (HANDLE).
