Filippo Randazzo (born 27 April 1996) is an Italian long jumper. He was 8th at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in Long jump.[2]

He is engaged with the sprinter on Italy national athletics team Alessia Pavese.[3]

Career

He was 7th at 2017 European Athletics Indoor Championships. His indoor personal best is a measure over eight meters, exactly 8.05 m established in Ancona on 18 February 2017.[4]

An injury occurred in April 2022 prevented him from appearing in Rieti at the 2022 Italian Athletics Championships where he would have had to defend the title in the long jump he had won in the previous five editions,[5] as well as taking part in the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where he had also qualified thanks to the target number.[6]

At the end of 2024, following yet another injury, he decided to change disciplines, temporarily abandoning the long jump, where he had been competitive internationally for years, including reaching the Tokyo 2020 Olympic final, and seeking to become competitive in sprint internationally, relying on the support of Sicilian federal relay coach Filippo Di Mulo, thus training in his native Sicily.[3]

He began to show his first results in 2025: he joined the Italy national relay team, was called up to 2025 World Athletics Championships,[7] and participated as a starter in Madrid 2025. The following year, he set a personal best in the 60 m with a standard time of 6.59 at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships, where he advanced to the first round and won the national title of the 60 m title.[3]
