Camilla De Paoli shines in Jerusalem, she is sixth in the under 18 European Championship

The Feltrina jumped 1.75 in the final of the continental review. Enthusiastic technician Stach: “you managed the match well, I’ll give you a good ten”

JERUSALEM

A sixth place in the Under 18 European Championship and the second best performance of the season, after that 1.76 in Caorle with which he had obtained the pass for the continental review.

Camilla De Paoli, the 16-year-old from Feltre who was involved last night in the final of the high jump, can smile. In Jerusalem, the blue is 1.75 among other things directly at the first test, and she is enough to leave behind half of the competition.

All in a race where the Serbian Angelina Topic puts gold around her neck, totaling an exceptional 1.92, while the German Göring second and the Belgian Maes third stop respectively at 1.88 and 1.86.

Yet it was not easy for the athlete registered with Ana Feltre to start the competition. After having passed 1.65 without any worries, the young Feltrina slowed down her pace, making a double mistake on the 1.70 measurement.

She risked being eliminated, therefore, if the third attempt also failed. Instead it went well, and it was the proverbial release capable of turning her race around. Or rather, it was what was necessary to approach 1.75 with the utmost conviction.

Here De Paoli has made a small masterpiece, advancing on the first attempt. A decisive blow, thanks to which it was possible to put opponents behind her.

However, not her national teammate Aurora Vicini, also ahead on the first shot on 1.75 but finished fifth – and therefore ahead of Camilla – thanks to the absence of errors on 1.70. From the Vicini down, however, no one has managed to jump 1.79, thus crystallizing a large part of the ranking and leaving only the race from first to fourth open longer.

“It wasn’t a great day for Camilla,” comments coach Valerio Stach, soul of Ana Feltre. «She has been able to make up for herself gradually and in any case I give her a good mark of 10. Her skill was in particular in managing the most complex situations, arriving sixth in a European. A result on which few would have bet, even if in my heart I was convinced she had the potential. The 1.79? She went close, she will have the opportunity to try again. But now you need to unplug a little and recover both from a physical and a mental point of view ».
