On March 5-6th Italian Indoor Athletics Championship took place in Ancona. The high jump winners are Gianmarco Tamberi and Alessia Trost.
High jump victory among the men was celebrated by world season leader Gianmarco Tamberi (let`s remind that recently Italian established record of Italy 238cm in championship in Hustopece). Tamberi began the competition from the height of 2.22, which he conquered in the second attempt. Later Italian record holder missed the height of 225cm and took the height of 2.28 in second attempt, what actually guaranteed him the victory. After successful attempts at 2.33 and 2.36 Gianmarko tried to renew national record and best world season results, so he immediately aimed at 2.40m. Despite the fact that attempts were really good this height is left unconquered. Second position took Chesani Silvano with the result of 2.22m. On the third position is Andrea Lemmi with the same result.

Later Trost tried to add 2cm to her best season result (195cm Alessia jumped on February 26 in Madrid), however, all three attempts were unsuccessful.
