Italy has won four medals at the World Cup 2023 in athletics: gold for Gianmarco Tamberi in the high jump, silver for Leonardo Fabbri in the shot put and in the men’s 4×100, bronze for Antonella Palmisano in the 20 km walk. This is a sumptuous booty for the Bel Paese, which hasn’t been doing so well for even 22 years: four podiums were achieved in Edmonton in 2001, but with a 1-1-2 distribution (Fiona May’s gold in the long jump, Fabrizio Mori’s silver in the 400m hurdles, Elisabetta Perrone’s bronzes in the 20km walking and Stefano Baldini in the Marathon). Thirteenth place in the final medal table.
Italy has collected no less than thirteen finalists at the World Cup 2023 staged in Budapest: equaled the result of Sevilla 1999, it hadn’t been so good for 23 years! In addition to the four medalists must be added: the fourth place in the 4×100 femalethe fifth place of Larissa Iapichino in the long jump, the sixth place of Ayomide Folorunso on the 400m hurdles, the sixth place of Sara Fantini in the hammer throw, seventh place in the 4×400 menthe seventh place of the 4×400 menthe seventh place of Massimo Stano in the 35 km walk, the eighth place of Daria Derkach in the triple jump, the eighth place of Emmanuel Confirmed in the triple jump.
