The words of Giovanni Malagò
Coni President Giovanni Malagò spoke about what happened at the World Championships in Eugene.
“Forfeit of Marcell Jacobs? I heard yesterday coach Camossi, they had started with doubts, but also very convinced of doing well, unfortunately there was this injury and the medical choice not to force, those who do speed know very well that these are usual risks.”
“Tamberi’s fourth place? We knew he was not in optimal condition,” added the Italian sports number one. “There is bitterness about a wooden medal, but the experts know well that if he had made it it would have been a great podium.
