Biography

[edit | edit source]

In 2012 with her personal best in the 100 metres hurdles, 13.05 has obtained the pass for her first Olympic appearance in London 2012 and also the standard for 2012 European Athletics Championships in Helsinki.[1]

In 2013, she sets her personal best in the 60 metres hurdles on Mondeville, France, with the crono of 8.06, sixth world best of the year at that day.[2] Than, in 2013, she set also national record in 60 m hs (7.94 at European Indoor Championships) and 100 m hs (12.76).[3]

After a few unlucky seasons, 2018 had started in the best way for Borsi, who had managed to get the qualification for the Indoor World Championships. But the season started on 5 May, at the Italian Athletics Clubs Championships in Ostia, with an injury to the Achilles tendon that forced her to quit the 2018 season.[4]
