World Championships, Elisa Molinarolo to dream.
World Cup, results
Elisa Molinarolo’s leap to 4.65 is the best image of the Italian evening at the World Championships in Budapest. The Venetian brings Italy into the rainbow final of the pole vault for the first time, with a remarkable progress of a good nine centimeters, centering at the third attempt the measure that qualifies her directly for the decisive round on Wednesday, after leading a clear path up to 4.60. Out went Italian record-holder Roberta Bruni (4.35). There comes a ‘final’ placing in the triple, understood as a place among the top eight in the world, functional for the points ranking: after being fifth in Oregon in 2022, Emmanuel Ihemeje is eighth in Hungary, but without reaching the desired seventeen meters (16.91/-0.4).
A multi-faceted evening in the hurdles: they can rejoice in qualifying for the semifinals of the 400hs Ayomide Folorunso (54.30, eight hundredths off her Italian record) and Rebecca Sartori, who with 54.82 drops below 55 seconds for the first time and signs the Olympic standard for Paris (out goes Eleonora Marchiando 56.27). A mockery, however, for Alessandro Sibilio, who exactly one month after his injury in Monte Carlo in the Diamond League misses access to the final by just four hundredths and is the first of the excluded despite his excellent 48.43, again valid as the standard for the 2024 Games. A protest by the Italian team over an alleged irregular hurdle pass by Olympic champion and world record holder Karsten Warholm (Norway) is dismissed. The semifinal ended before it began for Mario Lambrughi, who was disqualified for false start.
In the 100-meter ‘semi’ Zaynab Dosso runs 11.19 (-0.4) five hundredths down from the 11.14 with which she tied the Italian record yesterday: in the finals, from the ninth lane, the U.S. Sha’Carri Richardson ticks off for world gold with 10.65 (-0.2). Also eliminated in the semifinals were hurdlers Hassane Fofana (13.50) and Lorenzo Simonelli (13.69). Tomorrow, Tuesday, 10 Azzurri compete in the session starting at 18.40: the high jump final with Gianmarco Tamberi and Marco Fassinotti stands out. Decisive round also for Daisy Osakue in the discus and Ludovica Cavalli in the 1500.

US Open, Alexander Zverev also out: Jannik Sinner thanks.
All-U.S. semifinal at US Open
Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.
A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.
Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.
The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev è’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
