Camossi, Gorizia, Trost: all ties of our champion who died in May with the Friuli of the two protagonists of a beastly Sunday
UDINE. “What a beastly Sunday” sang Fabio Concato, “lunatic Sunday” sang Vasco instead. Let’s put both of these hit songs, bestial Sunday was for the Italy of sport, for the coronaries of millions of Italians glued to the TV with their eyes fixed on the Olympic stadium in Tokyo, moody for the opponents. Annihilated, sportily annihilated by the two blue talents of running and jumping.
Are Italy missing gold medals? Italy is in crisis, is athletics struggling? It was said in the last days of the Olympic expedition and for years in the queen discipline. “We have the fastest man in the world and the man who jumps the most in the world,” said the president of Coni, Giovanni Malagò, drunk with joy after the two companies.
The special. Tokyo2020, Friuli Venezia Giulia at the Games
He’s right: Marcell Jacobs, a 26-year-old policeman, son of Texan marines and Viviana from Desenzano sul Garda emerges strongly in the last two years, falls below the 10-second wall on 100 meters, in Tokyo he places the Italian record in the drums, in the semifinal the European one (9 ”84), just to better understand the personal best of Carl Lewis, the son of the wind. He is on a mission, he has three children, an amazing mother, a father recovered during construction, he loves Italy madly, so much so that he finds it hard to speak English.
He trains him Paolo Camossi, Gorizian glory of the triple that forged him step by step, training after training of which Marcell is a maniac, for three years also at the legendary Campagnuzza plant in the Isonzo capital. In the final he recovered and placed a legendary 9 ”80. “Think how happy Pietro Mennea will be up there,” said Rai the former athlete and technical shoulder, Stefano Tilli as soon as the race finished. We add: how happy Alessandro Talotti will be up there, who died less than two and a half months ago, for the triumph of the other legend of the bestial Sunday: Giammarco Tamberi. Our Talotti blindly believed in the talent of the jumper from Pesaro in love with basketball. He recognized his talent, he hoped for his rebirth. Here she is. Race from clear path, up to those 2.39 missed for a short time with that pinstripe knee-high put on tartan in memory of that black period of the injury, which had perhaps taken away a safe medal five years ago in Rio.

Yes, Alessandro from up there will be proud of that histrionic jumper, as elastic as ever and tenacious. “A dream come true,” says the altista. Who at the beginning of June at the Golden Gala in Florence after victories and 2.33 from the Olympic perfume had dedicated the success to the deceased Friulian jumper. And who knows that his enterprise may not spur our Alessia Trost, a friend of “Gimbo” and who has trained in Ancora for two years with him and her father.

What a beastly Sunday. But now be careful not to be engulfed by euphoria without (there were also the European football championships, it must be remembered) to take advantage of this golden moment to seriously analyze Italian sport. Full of talent, but also full of problems. Sport in schools, for real, sport finally seen as a pillar of children’s education and not a pastime or an obstacle: these must be obligatory paths.
Courage, with two golds like this, when the Olympics are still seven days away, it will be more beautiful. Good guys, thank you for the bestial Sunday. And how much Alessandro celebrated from up there
