With a great delay, pushed by the recent Olympic spirit, here is the annouce of my 4th Italian Decathlon Title.
It was not a great performance (7215 points) but it was enough to win a valuable national title.
I was recently watching time ever records in number fo national title wins…. well, I’m still very far from Franco Sar, who won 8 times between the 50s and the 60s
Anyway, this title was a nice shine in the dark sky of my season, due to a long time injury and poor of good performances. The only good race, during the last Decathlon was a PB in long jump: 7.25. It already time to thinj about the next season and start working hard! ![]()
