The 2025 edition of the Golden Gala, Italy\u2019s annual track and field event, will take place at Rome\u2019s Olympic Stadium on Friday 6 June.<\/p>\n
The Rome event, which\u00a0is broadcast live on Italian television channel RAI2, is part of the Diamond League, an annual series of 14 track and field meetings for top athletes.<\/p>\n
Now in its 45th year, the Golden Gala is a who\u2019s-who from the world of international athletics, including Italian medallists from the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n
Some of the many\u00a0stars to watch out for include\u00a0Italians Nadia Battocletti (5,000m), Gianmarco Tamberi (high jump),\u00a0Filippo Tortu (100m), Mattia Furlani (long jump) and Leonardo Fabbri (shot put); Americans Fred Kerley (100m) and Amy Hunt (100m); Kenya’s Beatrice Chabet (5,000m); and Britain’s Max Burgin (800m).<\/p>\n
The Golden Gala began in 1980 and was dedicated to the memory of the late champion Italian sprinter Pietro Mennea in 2013.<\/p>\n
The sporting event includes 14 specialities, seven for men and seven for women, valid for qualifying for the finals in Brussels in September.<\/p>\n
Over the course of its history, the gala has set several world records, of which the 1,500-m (1998) and mile records (1999) by Morocco\u2019s Hicham El Guerrouj still stand.<\/p>\n
