🌍 Tutta Europa a Rieti: al via la settimana degli Europei U18, la città si veste a festa 🌍

🌍 All of Europe in Rieti: the week of the U18 European Championships kicks off, the city dresses up for the occasion 🌍 Rieti is ready to become the heart of European athletics. The most anticipated week is in full swing: with two days to go until the start of the European Under-18 Athletics Championships, scheduled for Thursday, July 16th, to Sunday, July 19th, at the Raul Guidobaldi Stadium, the city has begun to welcome the first international delegations, and the atmosphere of the great event is now a reality. The first arrivals are those of the teams from France, Germany, Ireland, and Croatia, who arrived in the city with approximately 220 people, including athletes, coaches, and accompanying persons. This is the first contingent of over 2,000 people expected in total, including teams, staff, and event organizers. All the other national teams will arrive today, completing the 48 participating delegations, including the 75 Italian athletes who will be staying in nearby Cittaducale. Also joining them are Cristina Morelli and Matteo Varga, middle-distance runner and thrower for the Studentesca team, who will be attending the European Championships as residents of Reatino.
