2007

The 2007 edition was undoubtedly dominated by Antonietta Di Martino. Her Italian record in the high jump, that 2.02 which silenced and then made all the audience at the Nebiolo stadium exult, is the remembrance we all share of the past edition. It doesn’t matter if the competition was won by the Swedish Kajsa Bergqvist with the same result; Antonietta entered the history of athletics, overcoming the record by Sara Simeoni and doubling this performance at the world Championship of Osaka, where she was second with a 2,03.

Another silver medal was won by an athlete who had already taken part many times to the Meeting of Torino: Andrew Howe. His performance was not one of his best ones, a first jump measuring 8.25 which closed his attempts without great merits. Nonetheless an important test which led him to the spectacular confrontation with Irving Saladino in Osaka and to the silver medal with the Italian record of 8,47. All competitions proved to be spectacular, in particular the 200 m characterized by the record signed by Brian Dzingai (20”29).
