La Spezia – Marcell Jacobs will be in La Spezia for the absolute athletics championships on 29 and 30 June. «He confirmed his presence» explains the president of Fidal Stefano Mei. But he won’t be the only one. Lorenzo Simonelli, Leonardo Fabbri and many other champions will also arrive on the shores of the Gulf of Poets. «Many of the protagonists will compete at the last Europeans in Rome – continues Mei -. Someone still has to decide.” But the public can rest assured. And right at the Olympic stadium, last week, Mei had the honor of watching two evenings of competitions alongside the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. «An extraordinary guest – he says –. He came on Tuesday and enjoyed the medals. On all those of Tamberi and Battocletti. When he said goodbye, however, he told me “we’ll talk to you”. I didn’t expect it. The next day he called me from his secretary announcing that he would also be back on Wednesday, but privately. He came like a normal citizen and sat next to me. We spoke for a long time during the races: he is an informed person who pays attention to everything. I was very proud to have him see “my” samples twice. And in the end I told him if maybe he could come to Paris too. I threw it out there as a joke, I know he has a lot to do.” (video by Daniele Izzo)
