After the 7.32 heat course, Kelly Doualla improved in the 60m final which animated the meeting at the AccorsArena in Paris, a valid test for the World Indoor Tour (silver level, the second most important international traveling circuit). There 16 year old from Lombardy lowered by four cents the time trial match signed in the preliminary round and that’s it expressed in 7.28 in the final act, finishing in fourth place.
The U18 European record holder (last year he flew in 7.19 in the hall) crossed the finish line behind the listed Luxembourg Patrizia van der Weeks (7.16) and two experienced athletes such as the American Chante Clinkscale (7.23) and the Portuguese Lorène Dorcas Bazolo (7.26). Behind her were the French Chloe Galet (7.34) and the Gabonese Pierrick-Linda Moulin (7.35), who had preceded her in the heat an hour earlier.
Walter Monti’s student, at her first meeting outside the Bel Paese, archived what can be considered a good seasonal debut: 168 days after the last race (on 10 August he dragged the 4×100 towards triumph at the U20 European Championships) and after a long winter of work, it was important to carry out a test to evaluate the quality of the training carried out and to chart the path of the immediate future.
