A delighted Stefano is pictured above crossing the line to win gold in the men's Marathon
at the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg. It was the second time that Baldini,
the 2004 Olympic champion, had struck gold at the Europeans having also finished first in 1998.
Switzerland's Viktor Rothlin won the silver medal and Spain's Julio Rey the bronze.
