Career
Samuele Ceccarelli trained in karate initially until the age of 15. He switched to athletics at age 16.[4]
He won several medals at national under-20 level between 2018 and 2019. In January 2019, the 19-year-old set a 60 metres personal best of 6.72 seconds while still an U20 athlete.[2]
His progress in following three years was hampered by persistent injuries and frequent micro-fractures.[4]
In February 2023, he won his first national senior title with 60 m victory at the Italian Athletics Indoor Championships in Ancona, beating Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs. Ceccarelli repeated that feat on a European stage at Istanbul 2023 the following month for an Italian 1–2.[4] He set a new personal best of 6.47 s in the semi-finals to move up to second on the Italian all-time list (behind only Jacobs) and fifth on the European one.[5]
