Less than a month to go and Filippo Tortu will be back on track. On 7 May the sprinter of Sardinian origin will be in Nairobi for the 100m race at the Kip Keino Classic. After the indoor season, which the blue athlete did not attend by choice, a new calendar begins. The second stage is that of May 13 in Doha, before the Wanda Diamond League, with 200 meters flat.
“I can't wait to compete - said Tortu -. We chose Nairobi with my coach Salvino Tortu (his father, ed) and with Federico Rosa, the manager who since this year collaborates with Sprint Academy for the research and selection of meetings, because last year we closed the season with an excellent time and fantastic sensations. I liked the context and the track a lot and I want to try my hand at 100 meters there too . "
In Doha, on the other hand, he expects “to be able to meet very strong athletes who will stimulate me to do well. This year the individual goals are clear: the final at the World Championships and the medal at the European Championships on the 200 meters. We have carefully selected the first races just to get ready for the main events of the season ".
