Mattia Furlani (born 7 February 2005)[4] is an Italian high jumper and long jumper. He won gold medals in both events at the 2022 European Under-18 Championships. Furlani holds the European U20 indoor record for the long jump. In May 2023, at age 18, he leapt 8.44 m with wind assistance in the event, a mark better than the world U20 record and the longest in history by an U20 athlete in all conditions. At 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris he was bronze medalist.

Early life and background

Mattia Furlani is a son of the former high jumper Marcello Furlani (personal best of 2.27 m) who is also his coach. He is of Senegalese descent through his mother.[5] His sister Erika (born 1996) is also a high jumper (1.94 m personal best).[1]

Career

In 2022, Furlani won two gold medals at the European U18 Championships in Jerusalem, in the high jump and in the long jump.[3]

On 29 January 2023, still 17, he broke the European U20 indoor long jump record with a leap of 7.99 m for second place at the Folksam Grand Prix in Stockholm, Sweden.[6] In March, he competed in the senior long jump contest at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul, where he did not advance to the final.[7] On 24 May, Furlani soared at 8.44 m in the long jump competition at the Meeting di Savona on home soil. It would have been the world U20 record if the wind had not been just above the legal limit at 2.2 m/s, with his mark being the longest in history by an U20 athlete in all conditions.[8]

In the 2024 Paris Olympics, Furlani jumped 8.34m in his first jump, which was enough to take home the bronze medal.
