Filip Tortu’s 100 season starts in Florida

Speaking from the United States, in a note sent by the staff, Olympic 4×100 relay champion Filippo Tortu is just hours away from his season debut in Florida scheduled for late Saturday evening in Italy at 11:35 p.m., when it will be 5:35 p.m. in Gainesville.

“I am very charged and determined for my debut, it will be a competition of the highest level, with 8 athletes entered with a personal best than mine. A great stimulus and an excellent opportunity to test the work I am doing with my coach. I feel good, although we are still at the beginning of the season. A very important season for me, perhaps the most important one, because of the great challenges that await me with the European Championships in Rome and the Olympic Games in Paris”.

Anything but a ‘soft start’for the Yellow Flames blue, placed in the best of six 100-meter series at the Tom Jones Memorial, in the second lane. È in fact, the presence of the U.S. 100, 200 and 4×100 world champion Noah Lyles (sixth lane) has been announced, along with another big name in sprinting as 200 vice Olympic champion Kenny Bednarek (USA). Also on the blocks are Japanese Budapest world finalist Abdul Hakim Sani Brown, American Kyree King, Liberians Emmanuel Matadi and Joseph Fahnbulleh, and British Virgin Islands sprinter Rikkoi Brathwaite.

Tortu, in the midst of his overseas training stint based in Montverde, will return to run the 100 meters 325 days since the last time, which was at the 2023 Savona meet (10.16 in the battery, 10.17 in the final, both windy). Having not competed indoors, she will be making her absolute season debut for 2024, when the countdown to the European Championships in Rome kicking off June 7 marks -55 days and the countdown to the start of athletics in Paris -110.

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.

Jannik Sinner’s new post exalts John Malagò

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.
