Marcell Jacobs wins 100 m at Italian Championships in Florence
Marcell Jacobs secured his sixth Italian 100 m title (tenth national title overall) at the Championships in Florence, finishing in 10.12 seconds into a headwind of –0.4 m/s. He edged Samuele Ceccarelli (10.31) and Lorenzo Patta (10.34) for the gold. The meet also featured notable performances: Andy Diaz set a new Italian triple‑jump record at 17.87 m (+1.2 m/s), while the Studentesca Milardi club captured the men’s 4 × 100 m relay title (39.93 s) and took silver in the women’s relay (45.86 s). Individual medals went to athletes such as Greta Brugnolo (bronze triple jump, 13.54 m; silver long jump, 6.31 m), Tommaso Maniscalco (bronze 800 m, 1:47.99) and Benedetta Benedetti (silver discus, 58.07 m). Dalia Kaddari finished fourth in the women’s 200 m (23.24 s) behind winner Vittoria Fontana (23.03 s). Several top sprinters, including Chituru Aliera and Filippo Tortu, were absent or nursing injuries, raising concerns ahead of the European Championships in Birmingham in August. The results underline Italy’s sprint depth and set the stage for the continental event.
