Previous editions
The second edition of the La Mandria International Cross, a valid test for the selection of the Italian team at the European Cross Country Championships in Brussels, provided great emotions on the Venaria Reale course. Yeman Crippa won the men's race, beating Pasquale Selvarolo at the end of a heated duel, confirming his excellent form after a gathering in Kenya. In the short cross, Gaia Sabbatini triumphed again on the Parco La Mandria course, winning in 7:50 as she had done the previous year at the European Championships in Piemonte2022. Among the women in the 7.8 km, Anna Arnaudo's third place stands out as the best Italian result.
European Cross Country Championships 2022
Sunday 11 December 2022 La Mandria Park becomes the scene of the most beautiful cross-country event ever promoted by the European Federation.
An extremely difficult, demanding route, with the highlight of the athletes passing inside the Castle, running along the fascinating Carriage Hall and then, exiting from the monumental door, tackling the steep and winding descent.
A show within a show, exalted and spread throughout the world thanks to the long live broadcast by RAI and Eurovision and streaming, multiplied by virtue of the thousands of videos and photos taken by spectators and members of the National teams.
