World Cup, results

Magnificent blue relays. È an’Italy that makes people dream in the 4×100 at the World Championships in Budapest where both quartets win the final with resounding results. The men’s team with Roberto Rigali, Marcell Jacobs, Lorenzo Patta and Filippo Tortu sprinted in 37.65 to win the battery by setting the best time of the round: the second fastest time ever nationally, fifteen hundredths off the 37.50 of the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist, in that case with Patta, Jacobs, Desalu and Tortu. After twelve years, Italy’s 4×100 team returns to a rainbow final, which the men’ve been missing since the 2011 edition. Behind the Azzurri there’s South Africa (37.72), in the other battery the United States won in 37.67 ahead of Jamaica (37.68) and Japan (37.71), eliminated among others the reigning world champions Canada (tenth time with 38.25). In the women’s è extraordinary 4×100 of Zaynab Dosso, Dalia Kaddari, Anna Bongiorni and Alessia Pavese who demolished the Italian record with a resounding 42.14 and took more than half a second off the record of 42.71 obtained last season at the World Championships in Eugene. For the third consecutive edition, the Italian women reached the rainbow final after last year’s European bronze medal, this time with the fourth overall time, placing third in the battery behind the United States (41.59) and Ivory Coast (41.90) while Jamaica’s 41.70 also stood out.

Appointment for the finals tomorrow, Saturday, with the men at 21.40 and the women at 21.53. In the triple jump Dariya Derkach is at her best and manages to take a significant eighth place with 14.36 (-0.1), season record and second career performance at eleven hundredths from the personal best, instead Ottavia Cestonaro closes tenth at 14.05 (0.0) in a final won only at the last jump by Venezuelan star Yulimar Rojas with 15.08 (0.0). Still growing Eloisa Coiro in the 800 meters in 1:59.61. È sixth in the semifinals the 22-year-old Roman who greets the rainbow event but with her own limit lowered by 35 hundredths, for her second time under two minutes. Third gold in a row in the 200 in 19.52 (-0.2) for Noah Lyles, who after his triumph in the 100 makes it a double in Budapest. Jamaican Shericka Jackson also confirms herself in the half-lap with a sumptuous 21.41 (+0.1). In the javelin the last throw at 66.73 è that of the world title for Japan’s Haruka Kitaguchi.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

CONI President Giovanni Malagò spoke at the Allianz Tower in Milan on the sidelines of an event with Olympic and Paralympic athletes who participated in the Paris Games. During his speech, the Rome native wanted to dwell on the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the role that Jannik Sinner will play, who will be one of the volunteers contributing to the event’s organization.

“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
