Everything went smoothly: in Espoo Dalia Kaddari easily won her semifinal and this afternoon at 4.40 pm Italian time (streamed on the allathletics.tv website) she will try to confirm her 200m Under 23 European champion.
The sprinter from Quartese of the Fiamme Oro was not distracted either by the absence of her most dangerous rival, the French Gemima Joseph, or by the false start (green card for all) called by the starter.
She leapt off the blocks best of all and at the exit of the bend she already had such an advantage as to be able to easily control the race and finish first in 23”77, a high time, which was also affected by the 3.1 m/s headwind.
After running in 23” in heat, the sprinter trained by Fabrizio Fanni (present trackside at Leppävaara Stadium, in Finland) can look forward to the final with confidence.
