The Italian European champion returns to the stage with Paris in his sights. ROME (ITALPRESS) – Six weeks to the Olympics: Leonardo Fabbri’s five-ring challenge starts again from Bydgoszcz, in Poland. The Italian weightlifter takes to the stage for the first time as European champion late on Thursday afternoon for the Gold stage of the Continental Tour. Still on his skin are the emotions of the magical night at the Olimpico, his 22.45 which in the twenty-five previous editions of the European Championships had never been achieved, but also the amazing “Florentine May”, which coincided with the Italian record set by Alessandro Andrei with 22.95 in Savona, and that twenty-three meter wall now one step away.
The Air Force champion, world silver in Budapest, indoor world championship bronze in Glasgow, wants to continue his climb towards Olympus with another strong performance, in a context that features some of his continental rivals, although very far from “Fabbrino “, including the bronze medalist from Rome Michal Haratyk (Poland), the British fourth place Scott Lincoln, the Czech fifth place in Europe Tomas Stanek, as well as the other Pole Konrad Bukowiecki. Never below 22.40 in the six races from 1 May to today (with the exception of the qualification in Rome in which it was enough to place the weight at 21.10), the Italian is currently in second place in the world lists for the year, behind the American Joe Kovacs and his trip of 23.13 in the Diamond League in Eugene but ahead of the Olympic champion and world record holder Ryan Crouser (22.80), who prepares the dynamite for the upcoming US Trials in Oregon: the weight verdict at Hayward Field on Saturday. Finally, these are the dates to mark for the Paris Games: qualifiers on Friday 2 August and final on Saturday 3 August. – photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS). pdm/com 19-Jun-24 12:51 .
