Diaz secures the third place already at the first jump with 17.63. He then locks it with the last test and extends it by a centimeter and makes 17,64.
“I just have to say thank you. It’s the result of all the people and the Fiamme Gialle who were by my side. During the qualification I was a bit nervous, it was the first time with the blue jersey. Then in the final I let myself go. I’m happy, but I have the possibility to improve even more. It was a difficult path and I learned a lot from life. The people who were close to me helped me humanly and sportingly. It’s destiny that I won the bronze after Fabrizio Donato”.
