More  medals for the Azzurri on the final day of the European Athletics Championships in Rome, starting with gold for the men's 4x100, with Melluzzo, Jacobs, Patta and Tortu dominating from the first to the last meter and finishing at 37″82, a new European season record.

Great silver for the men's 4x400 (Meli, Sito, Scotti, Aceti). Also very good Larissa Iapichino, who in the long jump with a leap of 6.94 at the last attempt after a race in progression, wins a beautiful silver. The bronze, on the other hand, came from Pietro Arese, who with a crescendo finish in the 1500 meters achieved a very important podium.

Italy closes this continental review with 24 medals (11 gold, 9 silver, 4 bronze). At the beginning of the European Championships, it was difficult to think that we could already do better than the 2022 edition (11 medals, including 3 golds, 2 silvers, 6 bronzes), even more so that we would surpass the record of Split '90 when Italy won 5 golds and 12 medals overall. Instead, the Italian athletics movement showed that it is healthy and, above all, already in shape for the Olympics.
