Nothing to do for Nick Ponzio at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene in the United States. The blue fails to repeat Saturday’s throws and closes the final shot put in 9th place: the Italian-American failed to qualify, ending his test with a best of 20.81 while he scored in the 2nd throw. A result that however bodes well for the Italian in view of the next European Championships, in which he will be able to aspire to a medal.
Jamaica hat-trick in the women’s 100 meters: Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce dominates the final of the women’s 100 meters in 10”67, preceding her compatriots Jackson in 10 ″ 73 and Thompson Herah with 10 ″ 81. For Fraser this is the fifth world title in the queen race, thirteen years after the first one hit in Berlin 2009. In weight, the Americans take home yet another success and the second hat-trick of the championships, after the 1-2-3 of the championships. 100 meters.
Ryan Crouser (22.94) makes the world title his own, breaking the curse that always wanted him to be beaten at the World Championships, even if Joe Kovacs, champion in Doha three years ago and here silver (22.89) forces him to run after overtaking of the fifth shift; the bronze ends at Josh Awotunde’s neck (22.29). Throbbing final in the 110 hurdles: the US squadron that first loses by disqualification (disputed) Devon Allen, with a reaction time of only one thousandth of a second below the limit set for false starts (0.099), and then places the one- two with Grant Holloway (13.03, +1.2) and Trey Cunningham (13.08). Bronze to the Spaniard Asier Martinez (13.17).
Returning to the women’s 100 meters, the blue Zaynab Dosso concludes his world journey, as widely expected, in the semifinals of the world championships. His 11.28 (+0.4), two hundredths more than the time of the battery, is worth the seventh partial place, in a test literally dominated by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, first on the finish line in 10.93 (with a race similar more to a I extend that to a world championship semifinal). Dosso can look to the future with confidence, even to the next one, at the European Championships in Monaco, where she will hunt for a place in the final.
Tomorrow evening (for Italy, in the night between Monday and Tuesday, at 2.45 am) the final of the tall men with Gianmarco Tamberi, that of the 3000 hedges with Ahmed Abdelwahed, and the beginnings of Filippo Tortu, Fausto Desalu and Dalia Kaddari in the 200 meters, and Daisy Osakue in the discus throw.
