Larissa Iapichino athletics achievements

Overview

Italian long jumper Larissa Iapichino achieved significant milestones in her athletic career during September 2026.

Initially, Iapichino set a new Italian national record with a jump of 7.12 meters, surpassing the previous record held by her mother, Fiona May. This performance followed a successful season that included an indoor world silver medal and an outdoor European gold medal.

Shortly after, Iapichino won the gold medal at the inaugural Ultimate Championship in Budapest with a first-attempt leap of 6.90 meters. This victory made her the first Italian athlete to win a title in the competition. During post-competition interviews, she revealed that she had lost her grandmother on the morning of the event, noting that she completed her performance despite the personal loss.

The championship, described as a ‘super final’ of the athletics season, also featured other notable Italian performances. Gianmarco Tamberi secured the men’s high jump title with a seasonal best of 2.37 meters, earning $150,000 and marking his twelfth major career title. In the 800 meters, Francesco Pernici set a new Italian national record with a time of 1:42.67, finishing fifth in the final. Other participants included Eloisa Coiro, who advanced to the 800-meter final, and a mixed 4x400m relay team consisting of Edoardo Scotti, Anna Polinari, Lorenzo Benati, and Alessandra Bonora.
