  • Gli Italiani Ai Campionati Mondiali Di Mezza Maratona
    20 anni di campionati mondiali di mezza maratona Si disputeranno a Copenaghen (Danimarca), sabato 29 marzo 2014, i campionati mondiali di mezza maratona. La manifestazione, nata nel 1992, sarà alla sua ventunesima edizione, ma nel 2006 si corsero solo 20 km. Questi sono i risultati ottenuti dagli italiani nelle varie edizioni. Solo Stefano Baldini è riuscito a vincere il titolo nel 1996. E solo Rosanna Munerotto, tra le donne, è riuscita a salire sul podio (1992). a cura di Franco Civai 21a 29 mar 2014 Copenaghen (DEN) 20a 06 ott 2012 no italiani Kavarna (BUL) 19a 16 ott 2010 no italiani Nanning (CHN) 18a 11 ott 2009 1:02:43 18 Daniele MEUCCI 1:14:11 35 Emma QUAGLIA Giovanni Birmingham (GBR) 1:04:24 48 RUGGIERO 1:14:52 43 Ivana IOZZIA 1:04:51 52 Denis CURZI 1:05:01 56 Francesco BONA 1:05:23 62 Daniele CAIMMI 17a 12 ott 2008 no italiani Rio de Janeiro (BRA) 16a 14 ott 2007 1:02:17 32 Ruggero PERTILE 1:11:09 23 Anna INCERTI Udine (ITA) 1:02:57 41 Daniele CAIMMI 1:11:12 24 Vincenza SICARI Giovanni 1:03:25 49 RUGGIERO 1:12:44 30 Claudia PINNA 1:03:54 56 Ottaviano ANDRIANI 1:13:10 38 Renate RUNGGER file:///C|/Users/Luca/Statistiche/MONDIALE-HM.htm[29/10/2016 22.36.05] 15a 08 ott 2006 59:37 23 Migidio BOURIFA 1:09:05 26 Gloria MARCONI Silvia Debrecen (HUN) 59:45 25 Antonello PETREI 1:09:33 30 SOMMAGGIO km 20 1:01:38 49 Fabio MASCHERONI 1:10:27 35 Ivana IOZZIA Gianmarco Stefania 1:02:00 53 BUTTAZZO 1:12:57 49 BENEDETTI 14a 01 ott 2005 1:04:57 32 Fabio MASCHERONI 1:13:36 23 Deborah TONIOLO Edmonton (CAN) 1:14:33 31 Vincenza SICARI 1:15:46 37

  • More About the Fastest Boy in the World
    MORE ABOUT THE FASTEST BOY IN THE WORLD HOW I CAME TO WRITE THE BOOK In 1968 I was living in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. One morning I went out to the airport to meet a friend off her plane. I went upstairs in the terminal building for a cup of coffee, and looking out of the window, I was startled to see a lion sitting on the tarmac outside the airport building. "What's that doing there?" I asked someone. "Doesn't anyone realise?" "Didn't you know?" I was told. "Abebe Bikila, our champion runner, is about to arrive home from the Olympic Games in Mexico. The Emperor has sent the lion to greet him. His Majesty will soon be here himself." And true enough, a short while later, a Rolls Royce appeared, and out stepped Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Kings, Elect of God, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He took no notice of the lion, and the lion took no notice of him. A few weeks earlier, I'd been presented to the Emperor. I'd been ushered forwards to where he sat on a makeshift throne at an outdoor ceremony. He was a short man, quite tiny in fact, but he had more dignity and charisma than anyone I had ever met in my life. I bowed, he said a few words to me in French, nodded graciously, and an usher moved me on. The plane landed, and Abebe Bikila appeared at the door of the aircraft. He was the first Ethiopian ever to have won a gold medal at the Olympic Games.

    2016 Olympic Games Statistics – Men’s 10000m by K Ken Nakamura Record to look for in Rio de Janeiro: 1) Last time KEN won gold at 10000m is back in 1968.
