By 2023 the question about Italy was whether Tokyo had been an accident. Silesia answered in June: at the European Team Championships in Chorzów, Italy won the title for the first time in the history of the competition — 426.5 points, ahead of Poland and Germany — on seven event wins, with captain Gianmarco Tamberi taking the high jump at 2.29 in his first competition of the season.
The winter had already produced a shock of its own: at the European Indoors in Istanbul in March, 23-year-old Samuele Ceccarelli beat Marcell Jacobs himself for 60 m gold, 6.48 to 6.50 — an Italian one-two in which the Olympic champion was the two. By August, Ceccarelli was out in the heats in Budapest: the cost of sudden exposure, and a reminder that 2023 Italy was deep enough to absorb it.
Competition briefs — race briefs, or “bun huggers” — are the snug, minimalist bottom half of the classic two-piece athletics kit, worn with a crop top or singlet by sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers for full hip movement with zero loose fabric.
No rule mandates them: World Athletics TR5 names no garment at all. The brief earned the start line on fit through the 1980s, survived a real argument about who decides what women race in, and remains the choice of most championship sprinters today.
