01:35he ran the distance twice in 27
01:39thus improving the Italian record
01:40and just today in the semi-final stage
01:43brought the record to 25
01:46improving it by two tenths of a second
01:48only one athlete with his regularity
01:51of his temperament
01:52we can say of his calm
01:53could reach this goal
01:55it's the most important test of his life
01:58of his career as an athlete
02:02wisely
02:02Livio Berruti avoided the race
02:04of the 100 meters that could have
02:07give him some surprises
02:08Livio Berruti in fact as you all know
02:11he is an exceptionally fast sprinter
02:13gifted but not always
02:14he manages to capture the exact moment
02:16starting point
02:17not too fast departures
02:20in fact they have been the cause of some derision
02:23in the 100 meters but in the 200 meters
02:25in the double distance
02:26the Turin native has the opportunity
02:28to fully express
02:29all his talent
02:30his class
02:31runs with great ease
02:33and now we will see him busy

03:16they have already run
03:17the distance this year
03:19in 25
03:20and also Seye

03:22but he proved
03:24during the semi-finals
03:25to find himself too

03:28Seye too like Berruti
03:30he gave up the 100 meters
03:45false start
03:47this time by Berruti
03:51so as not to be surprised
03:55maybe he left
