World Cup, two sixth places for Italy

Two excellent results for Italy on the sixth day of the World Championships in Budapest. Sara Fantini è placed sixth in the women’s hammer throw Ayomide Folorunso took the same result in the women’s 400 hurdles.

The 25-year-old from Fidenza in Emilia launched to 73.85 on her third attempt, remaining fifth for a long time and not far from bronze, but in the end she did not è improve by losing one position. Gold to Canada’s Camryn Rogers (77.22), silver and bronze to Americans Janeé Kassanavoid (76.36) and DeAnna Price (75.41).

The 26-year-old native of Nigeria è was very good almost as good as in the semifinals, 54”19 against 53”89 with which she had improved the Italian record. The foregone gold è went to Dutch Femke Bol (51”70), silver to American Shamier Little (52”80), bronze to Jamaican Rushell Clayton (52”81, personal best)

The other results of the Azzurri. In the first semifinal of the women’s 200 Dalia Kaddari finished seventh in 22”75 and obviously will not be in the finals. Catalin Tecuceanu in 1’44”79, his personal best, è finished fourth in the second semifinal of the men’s 800 but remains out of the final, as does Simone Barontini, also with a personal best in 1’44”34 but fifth in the third semifinal.

Other races. In the men’s long jump the Greek favorite Miltiadis Tentoglou with a fantastic last jump to 8.52 left silver to Jamaican Wayne Piinnock, who matched him after the penultimate jump with 8.50 but with a second best measure. Bronze to’another Jamaican Tajay Gayle (8.27).

In the women’s 100 hurdles gold to Jamaica’s Danielle Williams (12”43), silver to Puerto Rican Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (12”44), bronze to Statuniitan Kendra Harrison (12”46). In the men’s 400, gold again to Jamaica’s Antonio Watson (44”22), silver to Britain’s Matthew Hudson-Smith (44”31), bronze to USA’s Quincy Hall (44”37, personal best).

To top it off, a clash between two carts outside the stadium before the semifinals of the men’s 200 determined that nine athletes instead of the usual eight will participate in Friday&#39s final.

Even the favorite, U.S. Noah Lyles, already the 100 world champion and the author of the best time in the three semifinals, was aboard one of the two electric cars that were bringing the athletes from the warm-up field to the inside of the stadium and that collided, albeit at low speed, due to an error by the drivers.

The’accident resulted in a change in the schedule in the running of the duecentist races, but it also injured one of the competitors who was on board. Jamaican Andrew Hudson, who è found a shard of glass in his eye. After finishing fifth in his event, Hudson appealed and è was admitted as ninth to the final, which he will contest in lane 1.

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 &egrave’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
