Big Italian Team for Munich announced
The two Technical Directors of the Italian National teams Augusto D'Agostino (women) and Roberto Frinolli (men) announced in Rome the names of the athletes who will participate at the European Championships, to be held in Munich (Germany) from 6th to 11th August.

Fabrizio Mori
The team will be composed by 94 athletes (55 men, 39 women), who will be part of the biggest Italian team of ever in a European Championships (in the last two editions of Helsinki '94 and Budapest '98 Italy presented 69 athletes). "I want to underline, says Gianni Gola, President of FIDAL, "that the high number of athletes who will be in Munich is the result of our "Maglia Azzurra" project, whose main aim is to give a chance to all those athletes usually not competing in the most important International meetings. All those of them having gained EAA or IAAF entry standards, will be in Munich and Paris. The high proximity to Italy of the host cities of 2002 EC and 2003 WC will help FIDAL to reduce the cost of the project". Back on the team: only a question-mark in the list showed below, concerning the third name of female's race walking 20K (already selected: Elisabetta Perrone and Erica Alfridi; that's why female's team shows at the moment 38 names and not 39).
