Italy team for WOC 2006

The Italy WOC 2006 Team consists of 8 runners. Michele Tavernaro is the best on the World Ranking in the team with a 36th position. Michele impressed everybody with his 6th place on the hard long distance at the WOC last year in Japan - a race where he run together with several of the other top placed runners for large parts of the course. Michele is also a strong hill runner. The strongest runner in the Italian Team is however Mikhail Mamleev, who previously run for Russia. On a good day he can fight for gold - as he showed by winning the World Cup Final over the middle distance in Italy last year.
