Three weeks before the Olympics, just over two months before the European Championships, Rome turns the spotlight back on athletics by hosting the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea, a stage of the 2024 Diamond League, at the Olimpico on Friday. There will be a very respectable kermesse with 10 gold medalists from Paris and 20 Italians led by a quintet made up of Gianmarco Tamberi, Marcell Jacobs, Andy Diaz, Nadia Battocletti and Leonardo Fabbri.
Appointment with Tamberi at 9.20pm
In the high jump, ‘Gimbo’ Tamberi will want to give another great thrill to the Italian fans after his victory at the European Championships. Without the Paris Olympic gold medalist Hamish Kerr, he will have to contend above all with the Korean Woo Sang-hyeok, the Ukrainian Ole Doroshchuk, the Czech Jan Stefela, the Jamaican Romaine Beckford and his teammate Stefano Sottile. See you at 9:20 p.m.
Tamberi in Rome for the Golden Gala: “I’m better after the calculations. Los Angeles Olympics? Maybe. In the meantime I want a daughter and I’ll get my faith back soon”

At 10.52pm Jacobs seeks revenge in the 100m after Paris
There is also great anticipation (at 10.52pm) for the 100m where Marcell Jacobs and Chituru Ali will meet again to challenge the Jamaican Kishane Thompson, Olympic silver medalist, the American Fred Kerley, bronze medalist in Paris and winner of the last two editions of the Golden Gala, and the Botswana representative Letsile Tebogo, gold medalist in Paris in the 200m.
Also competing are Battocletti in the 1500, Diaz in the triple jump and Fabbri in the shot put
With curiosity we will then have to follow the performances of Nadia Battocletti, splendid Olympic silver medalist in the 5000 m who at 22:37 will try to amaze also in the 1500 where she will try to give a hard time to the Kenyan Faith Kipyegon, new world record holder and winner of 3 consecutive Olympic golds, of Andy Diaz, bronze at the Games, who at 19:48 in the triple jump will compete for victory with the world gold medalist in Budapest 2023 Fabrice Zango of Burkina Faso). Finally, keep an eye on Leonardo Fabbri, 5th in Paris but able this year to throw the implement to 22.95 m who in the shot put (at 20:15), will face the Americans Ryan Crouser, 3 times Olympic gold medalist and world record holder, and Joe Kovacs, 3 silver medalists at the Games.
