Another giant passed away.Yesterday, at the age of 84, the Great carlo Vittori, Coach of Pietro Mennea, and founder of the so called " Italian School of sprinting", passed away.I started as a coach ( and earlier as an athlete), following his writings, like everyone in Italy.His contribution to the advancement of sprint training is enormous, and his rough character made him a unique figure: loved, hated, but always on the front line.Just some weeks ago, he realesed an interview full of criticism for the italian track federation, doping and coaching.By the way, he was a believer in Usain Bolt being a clean athlete.We will miss you “Professore”.

A great loss indeed
Heaven must be building a kick ass track team. Imagine the coaching staff they have now.
