Mattia Furlani’s record

This time, the wind is opposite, even contrary.

Mattia Furlani, the new long jumper from Italy, wins in Hengelo in the Netherlands and sets the Italian Under-20 record. This is the first time in 19 years that Andrew Howe has surpassed the 8.11 with the which he won the gold at the 2004 World U20 Championships held in Grosseto. Furlani (Fiamme Oro), despite a headwind of -0.7, hits the mark on his first jump. He confirms the great impressions made in Savona (8.44, +2.2) with a quick run-up and perfect take-off.

The 18-year old Italian repeated his very high jump at the Fbk Games (a Gold leg on the Continental Tour) with 8.14 again upwind. With his 8.24 today, he is close to qualifying directly for the World Championships scheduled for Budapest in August (set at 8.25) and becoming the fourth Italian ever after Howe (8.47), Giovanni Evangelisti’s (8.43) or Simone Bianchi’s (8.25). The jumper, who trains with mom Khaty Seck in Rieti and dad Marcello, also becomes the fourth European Under-20 of all time, after Russian Sergey Morgunov’s 8.35, Greek Miltiadis Evangelisti’s 8.30, and Spaniard Eusebio Cáceres’ 8.27, which is on par with Russian Vladimir Ochkan’s 8.24. Furlani is able to celebrate his personal best of 20 centimeters, which is higher than his 8.04, with which he won the gold at the U18 European Championships held in Jerusalem last summer. He can also enjoy his success at one of the most prestigious international meetings, as well as a guarantee of substantial points in terms of world ranking, beating two valuable competitors such South Africa’s Cheswill Harrison (8.08/+1.1), and U.S. Mister Jump JuVaughn harrison (8.07/- In his series, there is also a null in the third jump, two jumps at 7.91 (+0.4), and 7.70 (0.4), and the run-up is only sketched out on the last entry of the platform. But above all, he knows that he is able to compete in the athletics which counts.
