==Biography==
[[File:Antonella capriotti.jpg|thumb|260 px|Capriotti in a training jump.]]
She started off her career as a long jumper and later, with excellent results, succeeded also in triple jump, that was ushering in various international competitions.
She was also the first Italian athlete to cross the threshold of fourteen meters in triple jump. Her personal best of 6.72 meters in long jump (established in 1994) still remains the third best performance ever in Italy after [[Fiona May]]'s 7.11m and [[Valentina Uccheddu]]'s 6.80m.

She participated in the [[Seoul]] [[Olympic Games]] in 1988 and in the [[Barcelona]] [[Olympic Games]] in 1992. She currently lives in [[Verona]], [[Italy]]. She was invited from the [[RAI]] (the Italian state owned public service broadcaster and biggest Italian television company) to comment the World Athletics Championship 2011 in [[Daegu]].
