TARANTO - The fourth day of athletics at the Mediterranean Games in Taranto brought Italy five gold, three silver, and three bronze medals, for a total of 33 medals (13-9-11). Sub-23 seconds for the third time in her career, her second best ever, Vittoria Fontana led the 200 meters with a time of 22.93 (wind speed +1.5), fourteen hundredths of a second off the time that earned her gold at last year's Universiade in Bochum (22.79). Sub-23 seconds for the third time in her career, Fontana finished ahead of Greece's Rafaela Spanoudaki (23.07) and Turkey's Sila Kologlu (23.12), who finished sixth.
