Andrea Dallavale wins an extraordinary silver in the triple jump at the Athletics World Cup, staged in Tokyo. The 25 -year -old from Piacenza, of the Yellow Flames, jumps 17.64 meters (Personal Best) to the last attempt and provisionally climbs over, including the Olympic silver in charge Pedro Pichardo, the Cuban Lazaro Martinez (17.49) and the Algerian Yasser Mohammed Triki, fourth with 17.25. The Portuguese Pichardo, however, at the last jump, hits an incredible 17.91, conquering gold on the gong. Silver for the blue; Bronze for Martinez. Andy Diaz Hernandez (Yellow Flames), on the other hand, does not go beyond sixth place. Olympic bronze in charge, the 1995 class of Cuban origins, also of the yellow flames, disputes a race under its standards, conditioned by some problems with the groin that has limited its fluidity of the race. 17.19 meters the best measure today by Diaz. For Italy it is the sixth medal in these World Cup: for the blues to date a gold, three silver and a bronze.
