A year ago the countdown started. A year ago Jump Experience started taking shape. From there you know the story: a brilliant first edition of a unique high jump meet, an innovative event which aimed and aims to bring athletics to the fore in an entertaining form.
For those of you who don’t know us, don’t worry, we’re here to tell you that we are passionate about athletics. We are, in fact, so passionate about this Olympic discipline that we wanted to make it more exciting. We are not compeltely satisfied with the way in which it is presented and experienced in Italy. We are not here to argue or cause problems (blame), rather we’re here to present our alternative of a young, engaging and exciting athletics! We haven’t invented anything: we saw what was being done around the world to make athletcs more attractive and the true Queen of sport, and , in our way, with a thousand limitations and a thousand motivations we made the proposal in Chieri, Piedmont.

Coming from six Italian regions the first edition of Jump Experience had 16 jumpers on track, which involved the numerous public watching on the sidelines. Athletes with a sports curriculum of great importance given the six titles and the world final of Giulio Ciotti (2.31m PB), the national team member (maglie azzure) from Livorno, Andrea Lemmi (2.26m PB), the Junior World title holder Stefano Sottile (2.22m PB) and the presence of a member of the national junior team, Lorenzo Biaggi (2.18m PB). Then, the hand clap and the music which created just the right atmosphere for an incredible jump, garnering the overwhelming enthusiasm of the public. Futhermore dozens of children having spent an afternoon on the track testing their own abilities in the diverse disciplines were amazed (speechless) at the jumps of Lemmi & Co.
We don’t like to live too much in the past. The motivation remained high and in our small way we want to repeat the event. To this end, we give you the date for 2017. At this stage we can’t say much more than this, only that we’ll put all our energy into giving you an event that will take High Jump a little higher. In the mean time we are travelling around European meetings and important athletic meets so as to understand what could potentially make a real difference. We believe that comparing and sharing can only further enhance (enrich) and contribute to the growth and success of JE 2017.
In a few days we will be departing for Rio de Janeiro: there we will see the real spectacle, there we will try to understand how the organizational machine of a huge sporting event works, from there we will bring home all the experience that could make our meet not only a moment of sport but of entertainment.
Stay tuned, we are here to take athletics to a new height!
