Italy closes the American World Cup with the seventh place of the 4x400 relay: Anna Polinari, Ayomide Folorunso, Virginia Troiani and Alice Mangione run in 3: 26.45, the time of the third absolute Italian performance ever.
Never a quartet of the mile so high at the World Cup.
Two world records on the final day: Swede Armand "Mondo" Duplantis rises in the auction to 6.21, overcoming the previous limit by one centimeter, which he himself obtained in March of this year in Belgrade;
the Nigerian Tobi Amusan amazes in the 100hs, running in the semifinals in 12.12, eight hundredths better than what was done by the American Kendra Harrison in July 2016. In the final, still an amazing time trial for the Nigerian, gold in 12.06, time however achieved with wind beyond the limit.
The Italian World Cup ends with the sixth place of the girls of the mile relay (Anna Polinari, Ayomide Folorunso, Virginia Troiani, Alice Mangione), the best placement ever in a World Cup in this specialty.
Their 3: 26.45 is not far from the absolute Italian record, the 3: 25.16 achieved at the Rio Games, placing them in third place in the Italian list of all time.
A result of considerable technical value, enhanced by valuable partial times (Polinari 52.46, Folorunso 50.77, Troiani 52.37, Mangione 50.85).
Gold goes to the United States in 3: 17.79, eighth world performance ever, with a stunning split of 47.91 attributed to Sydney McLaughlin.
Silver to Jamaica (3: 20.74), bronze to Great Britain (3: 22.64).
The afternoon opens with a sensational news: the world record of 100hs signed in the semifinals by the Nigerian Tobi Amusan (fourth both at the Tokyo Games and in the Doha 2019 World Cup), able to finish, even raised, his race in a sensational 12.12 (wind +0.9), eight hundredths less than the 12.20 achieved by the American Kendra Harrison in London on 22 July 2016. And Harrison is second on the finish line in 12.27, a time of absolute importance, but insufficient to counter the unleashed Amusan.
In the final, the Amusan repeats itself, indeed, it definitely goes beyond, crossing the finish line in an unreal 12.06, but the wind beyond the norm leaves it (so to speak) only with the joy of the world title.
Behind her, Jamaican Britany Anderson (12.23, silver),
and Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (Puerto Rico, same time as Anderson, but beaten for five thousandths of a second).
Could Duplantis' world record be missing from the perfect screenplay for the American World Cup?
Obviously not.
And in fact the Swede, just finished the last race (the 4x400 women relay) climbs up to 6.21, one centimeter over the limit set indoors at the Stark Arena in Belgrade on March 20 last.
It is the general rejoicing, for this boy of American origins (and from the newspaper), who dispenses records with the regularity at the time of him inaugurated by the master Sergey Bubka.
Silver goes to Chris Nilsen's neck (USA, 5.94), with bronze awarded to Filipino Ernest Obiena (same size as Nilsen).
