Primacy of the Italian-Texan with 9 “94 while the Sardinian-Lombard is fourth and qualified with his best time of the season: 10” 10
TOKYO. Marcell Jacobs set with 9 “94 the new Italian record of 100 meters by filing it by one cent in the heats of the Olympics where he won first place and gained access to the semifinals.
Filippo Tortu instead raced in his battery, the fifth, in 10 “10 his new seasonal record (the absolute one is 9” 99) and second time of the fished out. For Tortu a difficult test because before the valid start there were two false starts, which raised the tension to a thousand.
Both Italians at the top of the speed will therefore play the semifinal, a good sign also in view of the relay where Lorenzo Patta from Oristano should also be in the team.
