A bronze (in the 800 freestyle) that feels like a historic feat for Gregthe Italian swimming captain climbed onto the podium in three consecutive Olympic editions, from Rio de Janeiro 2016 to Tokyo 2020 up to this edition celebrated in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. At 30 years old Paltrinieri has accomplished a sensational feat (waiting 1500 and the 10 kilometers of bottom in the waters of the Seine which, according to the latest tests, would have lowered the pollution levels to the threshold limits). And to think that, as he confessed at the end of the race, at one point in the season he had thought about not doing it.
A beautiful gold that Rossella Fiamingo and the Italian women’s epee team (Alberta Santuccio, Giulia Rizzi, Mara Navarria) won) after the disappointment that the Italian girls had suffered in the individual event. Victory also came by beating the host and favourite France in a very balanced final won in overtime (30-29 with a decisive thrust by Alberta Santuccio).
“I’ve sent her ten messages and she hasn’t responded yet. I can’t wait to get to the village and see her,” Gregorio Paltrinieri said after completing his masterpiece in the 800 freestyle. Third gold for Italy thanks to the sword “and a bronze for Greg. I just found out. I’m super happy”, Rossella Fiamingo exclaimed at the end of the challenge won by the Italian women against their French rivals.
