ROME. Larissa Iapichino, U20 indoor world record holder of the long, changes technique in view of Tokyo 2020. Her father Gianni, former coach of her mother and champion Fiona May, will train her. A choice with immediate effect, to immediately focus on future commitments. «I am very grateful to Cecconi for the work we have done together – the words of Larissa – Now I focus on the Under 20 World Cup in Nairobi, in August. And I’m happy to go to Tokyo, where the best would be to be able to enter the final. Given the values in the field, it is by no means taken for granted “.”
Larissa Iapichino also spoke about the relationship with the father-coach. «I chose the most difficult route: we have similar characters and I already know that there will be a fight, however my confidence in his technical experience and in his ability to get the best out of me in the most difficult situations is total. I know that I have invested him with a huge responsibility and in a delicate moment of the season, but this is my feeling. Now the pre-Olympic visits and the absolute Italian championships in Rovereto await me, where we will meet to take stock », concludes Larissa, who two days ago sustained her high school diploma in science.
