Seasonal debut for Filippo Tortu, Olympic gold medalist in the 4x100m relay, with a fifth place in Stockholm on the day of his return to the indoor 60m, a distance that the blue hadn't run for three years.
After 6''81 in heat, Tortu closed the final with 6''75, above his personal best of 6''58.
To win the race, with a time to be taken into consideration in view of the European indoor championships in Istanbul, is the Swede Henrik Larsson, capable of improving up to 6.56.
"It was definitely one of my worst races - commented by Tortu's staff - Nonetheless, we knew how to read between the lines of bitterness what we have to do starting tomorrow, on the track, to continue building ahead of the outdoor season"
