.

The tenth stage of the Diamond League, as well as the last test before the Paris 2024 Olympics, closes with a third place for Larissa Iapichino, who concludes the high jump test by registering a distance of 6.70 meters. 

Winning the competition è was Germany’s Malaika Mihambo, who dominated the competition by registering a superlative 6.87-meter jump. In second place was Portugal’s Agate de Sousa with 6.75. Completing the top 5 were Serbia’s Milica Gardasevic (6.58) and Britain’s Katarina Johnson-Thompson (6.54).

The Italian long distance runner è remained decidedly far from the 6.94 she recorded at the European Championships, but today’s è her seventh best measure in the season, proving that she has the potential to aspire to something important ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Larissa Iapichino, despite being making her debut in the five-circle event, will surely be able to take satisfaction and try from the start to be one of the favorites to win a medal in the long jump.
