WORLD MOUNTAIN RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS – Congratulations to ORLANDO EDWARDS who ran for the GB & NI team last Sunday, ORLANDO finished in 33rd place (61.08) and was the 4th (60.39) of the 6 GB runners to finish. Considering the quality of the field the GB & NI team finished in a splendid 5th place with 103 points. The winners were Uganda whose runners finished 1st, 2nd & 3rd and totalled 14 points, 2nd Eritrea (27), 3rd Italy (55) and 4th USA (95).
The race was held in Casette di Massa, Italy which is in the Italian region of Tuscany on the amazing backdrop of the Apuan Alps. The 30th edition of these Championships was staged on a “only-up” course which went through a cave of the famous “Bacino di Gioia” in the final section of the course. Here the marble, which gave shape to many masterpieces of Italian art, is extracted. The World Championships featured almost 400 athletes from 40 countries from the five Continents. It’s the eighth time that this event is held in Italy, which boasts a long tradition in this discipline. On Saturday 13th September the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 World Mountain Championships was highlighted by the delivery of a block of marble, from which Italian artist Fabio Viale will carve the statue dedicated to Pietro Mennea which will be located at the Stadio dei Marmi in Rome which is already named after the former 200 metres Olympic champion and World record holder.
