A step back from the debut in Rieti, probably a couple (or maybe more) compared to expectations.
Filippo Tortu does not get the desired result in the Geneva race, finishing third in 10.30, behind the French Fall (10.26) and the Kenyan Odhiambo (10.29), opponents with a record not even comparable to that of the Milanese (the transalpine then repeats in the 200 , in 20.37).
"I should have run faster than I did", the words of a clearly disappointed Filippo Tortu upon arrival.
