European Athletics Championships in Birmingham

Overview

During the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, Italian athletes achieved several notable results. Dariya Derkach secured a gold medal in the women’s triple jump with a personal best of 14.60 meters, marking Italy’s third gold of the competition. This victory was particularly significant following her recovery from three Achilles tendon surgeries, establishing her as the European leader for the season. The 33-year-old, coached by Alessandro Nocera, noted that the win served as a reward for the sacrifices made during her long rehabilitation process. She surpassed silver medalist Saliyya Guisse of Belgium and bronze medalist Aleksandra Nacheva of Bulgaria.

In the men’s triple jump, Andy Díaz won the gold medal for Italy with a leap of 18.15 meters. This performance set a new Italian national record and established him as the fourth-best triple jumper in history. The podium included Pedro Pablo Pichardo, who took silver with 17.76 meters, and Andrea Dallavalle, who secured bronze with 17.37 meters. Díaz, who began competing for Italy after gaining citizenship following his departure from Cuba in 2021, received support from physiotherapist Lorenzo Sportolari to manage persistent injuries.

Other Italian performances included Francesco Pernici finishing fifth in the men’s 800 meters, just six hundredths of a second away from the bronze medal in a race won by Ireland's Mark English. In the 200 meters, Fausto Desalu won his semifinal with a time of 20.08 seconds, while newcomer Filippo Dezza qualified via the repechage. Additionally, Alessandro Sibilio qualified for the 400m hurdles final.
