The record
The indoor U20 world record set in Ancona by Larissa Iapichino, with 6.91 cancels a historical record resistant for 32 years of Heike Drechsel, the historical rival of her mother Fiona May and one of the strongest long jumpers of all time.
The Story
6.91 is also the Italian Indoor Record which for now is in cohabit with Larissa’s mother Fiona May, a sort of a double success. And we are looking forward to see Larissa back in the next 2022 indoor season.

Larissa will participate in Belgrade (March 2022) in her first World Champ Indoor at Senior level. The goal is to compete at the highest level as possible to affirm her legacy in long jump guided as at the time her mother’s was by the father Gianni Iapichino, now her coach and lifetime first supporter.
