Italy national athletics team in the EAAplacing table (rank obtained by assigning eight points in the first place and so on to the eight finalists). It is the best placing ever by an Italian team.[2]
This is the list of selected athletes. It should be considered that the athletes not registered in the individual sprint event could only be reserve in the relay race and therefore will not participate in the continental competition. Just as some athletes still injured shortly before the start of the competition may not participate, such as 100 mOlympic champion Marcell Jacobs.[4]
On 11 August, just four days before the start of the competition, three Italian athletes were forced to give up for their injury.[5]
