medallist at the 2023 European Indoor Championships Larissa Iapichino revealed that Nigerian jumper and World Championships silver medallist, Ese Brume, is one athlete she fears most.
The 20-year-old Italian jumper leapt a record 6.97m at the just-concluded European Indoor Championships held in Istanbul from March 2 to 5 to begin her season on an impressive note. Iapichino came second behind 28-year-old British Jazmin Sawyers, who produced the best performance of her career with a massive British Record of 7.00m.
Speaking shortly after the championship, the European U-20 champion claimed she had to improve on her outdoor record to stand a chance to beat the world’s best jumpers likes Brume, Commonwealth champion and bronze medallist at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics; Malaika Mihambo, Ivana Spanovic and Brittney Reese.
Also, Iapichino’s Istanbul success will serve as a morale boost for her confidence to compete among top jumpers at the World Championships in Budapest from August 19 to 27 in Hungary.
