ItalyAt the Mediterranean Games, Italy continues to dominate with 23 medals, bringing its total to 187 titles, just six short of the 193 set by Bari in 1997. The standout athlete of the day was Gimbo Tamberi, who won gold in high jump despite initial expectations he might skip due to a busy schedule. Tamberi, already a European champion, performed confidently, though he fell short of setting a new world record. Other notable Italian successes include Cristiano Falocchi winning bronze, and multiple medals in weightlifting, shot put, and triple jump. Italy leads the medal table ahead of Turkey, while several athletes faced disappointment, including Filippo Tortu being reclassified after finishing fourth.
