Another Italian record for Nadia Battocletti who surpasses the national record in the 10 kilometer road race in Paris with a time of 31:19. It is the city of the next Olympics, less than four months after the five-circle event in the French capital, and it is an excellent sign for the queen of the Italian middle distance in view of the summer season.
The thirty-year-old Fiamme Azzurre in a mixed race, with men and women starting together, improves on her 31:36 from last September 10th in Pescara which however remains valid as a female-only race record. Another feat for the champion trained by her father-coach Giuliano, who will turn 24 in a week, who in the past season also managed to set the Italian records for the 5000m on the track (14:41.30 in London) and the 5km on road (2.45pm at the World Cup in Riga).
On the spectacular track with start and finish at the Palais-Royal, near the Louvre, he placed fourth in the Asics Speed Race while the success went to the Ethiopian Likina Amebaw in 29:56 ahead of the Kenyans Loice Chemnung (29:57) and Mirriam Chebet (30:41). If confirmation was needed on the Italian’s state of form, she was forced to give up indoor competitions during the winter due to a double injury (trouble in her right ankle before tibial shin splints) but returned a month ago, winning the Italian title in cross where she is European vice champion, here’s the answer. A performance that bodes well for the big events this year, not only the Paris Games but also the European Championships in June in Rome.
In the 5 kilometer race, Ludovica Cavalli fifth in 15:18 with a personal best on the road for the Genoese Aeronautica, world finalist in the 1500 metres, and seventh Sara Nestola (Calcestruzzi Corradini Excelsior), European U23 silver in the 10,000 metres, who improved at 3.43pm. Kenyan Caroline Nyaga wins with 14:40. Among the men in the 10 km, Pietro Riva was eighth (Fiamme Oro, 28:28) and Luca Alfieri was fifteenth (Atl. Casone Noceto, 29:06), while the Ethiopian Jemal Yimer won with 27:43.
