Olympics, Larissa Iapichino ko: will not go to Tokyo

Definitely unpleasant news for the blue track and field team that will take part in the Tokyo Olympic Games. A few hours after the closing of the terms for the qualification, and consequently from the formalization of the list of players called, the renunciation arrives, agreed with the Fiamme Gialle (the company they belong to) and Fidal, of one of the most anticipated athletes of the Italian national team : Larissa Iapichino. The 19 year old long jumper of the Fiamme Gialle, victim of an injury on the platform last Saturday in Rovereto, is forced to stop by what the diagnostic tests dealt with in the past few hours have clarified to be a “distraction of the anterior bundles of the deltoid ligament” of the right foot , that of detachment. An accident whose significance, as well as the consequent therapeutic path, will be carefully evaluated in the next few hours, but which unfortunately already cancels the possibility for the blue to participate in her first Olympics.
