For the Under 20 World Championships in Nairobi, Kenya, scheduled from 17 to 22 August, the name of Stefano Grendene also stands out in the squad list prepared by the deputy technical director for the youth sector Antonio Andreozzi. The Italian athletes selected are 43, including 23 men and 20 women. The athlete of the Unione Giovane Biella will be involved in the 4×400 and mixed and was already a protagonist at the Under 20 European Championships last month in Tallinn, when he got the silver medal in the 4×400.
The last edition of the U20 world review was that of Tampere in 2018 (Nairobi was scheduled for 2020, then postponed for Covid): on that occasion Italy won a historic gold and signed the European category record with the 4×400 relay who had also lined up Lorenzo Benati in the battery, in these days in Tokyo. For the first time, the mixed 4×400, already tested at the youth level in the U18 World Championships and now permanently in the program of the Olympics and World Championships, joins the program of the event.
