Alessia Succo

Powerful, fast, and able to overcome every obstacle.

These qualities perfectly describe Alessia Succo, born in 2009 and raised in Settimo Torinese, where she discovered athletics by following a family tradition. A specialist in the 100m hurdles, she quickly established herself among Europe’s brightest young talents, winning bronze at the 2025 European U20 Championships in Tampere and two gold medals at the 2025 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF) in Skopje, in the 100m hurdles and the mixed relay. In 2026, she made athletics history by setting the World Under-18 indoor record in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.05 seconds, becoming the youngest Italian athlete ever to compete in the Diamond League and winning a silver medal at the U18 European Championships in Rieti. Despite her young age, Alessia stands out for her maturity, determination, and ability to perform under pressure.

She looks up to Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone as her greatest inspiration. With remarkable talent and a strong personality, Alessia is emerging as one of the brightest new stars of Italian athletics.
