2024 Italian Olympic Trials Begin On March 5th

2024 ITALIAN OLYMPIC TRIALS

The 2024 Italian Olympic Trials are nearly upon us with action kicking off in Riccione beginning on Tuesday, March 5th.

A total of 732 athletes are registered across 180 clubs with everyone vying for a coveted spot on the nation’s Olympic roster for the Paris 2024 Games.

As a refresher on the Italian selection process, qualification began last November at the nation’s Absolute Open Championships. Athletes who qualified at that competition were fused with those who reached a qualifying time at the World Championships in Doha last month.

This means these Olympic Trials represent a third opportunity for athletes to add their names to the roster, while a final chance for any remaining spots will take place at the Sette Colli Trophy in June.
