Camilla De Paoli in the final at the European Championships. She is among the best U18 athletes

Great performance in the high jump in the continental review in Jerusalem. “I’m already happy to be here, now I’m concentrating on tomorrow’s race”

JERUSALEM

Jumps 1.74 and goes to the final at the Under 18 European Championships in Jerusalem, despite having started training only less than three years ago.

Athletics from Belluno cheers on Camilla De Paoli, 17 years yet to be turned, registered with Ana Feltre and one of the blue bearers at the continental review underway in Israel.

Tomorrow at 6.15 pm Italian the chance to get on the podium of the high jump will be played, where she landed with full merit by signing the same measurement of the national teammate Aurora Vicini.

An extraordinary result obtained by the young girl from Feltre, who met the world of athletics only three years ago and is already a beautiful promise of the blue high jump. She had obtained the European pass in Caorle in May, when with an even more extraordinary 1.76 she had managed to sign the Belluno record of the specialty. She only needed two centimeters less to qualify for the last act of tomorrow, where she will deal with the best of the high European.

“In the meantime, I’m already happy to be here,” she said after qualifying on the microphones of FIDAL’s social channels. «Participating in a European is an experience that stays with you forever. As for the result, I must say that I did not think I would be able to access the last act and now I am therefore very happy. I knew it was a complex race, in which my hope of passing the round was linked to the result of the first test. Without a doubt, however, I felt very determined in wanting to obtain a satisfaction that in fact came later. Too bad I wasn’t able to jump 1.77, as it would have improved my staff. I came close in the third test, but that’s okay. Now, however, I am concentrated in view of tomorrow’s race ».

Smiling and happy the Ana Feltre technician, Valerio Stach.

“This is actually only his second season of athletics,” he says, with understandable satisfaction. «In the final part of the 2020 vintage I noticed her, as she was coming to pick up her brother from training: she had the ideal physical structure of her. Right from the start she was determined and motivated, growing in terms of results, up to second place in February in the Italian indoor with 1.72 and the qualification for these European Championships obtained in Caorle. You have acquired stability and technique, while I believe my main work is related to making your mind as free as possible from any slowdown. Expectations? Tomorrow jump immediately on important measures. You certainly have interesting potential ahead of you and I am convinced you can do well ».
