Swimming: Paltrinieri, 'shame about 2nd place, today I was looking for real emotions'

“It's a shame, because I was close to second place. Then it doesn't make much difference to be second or third, I had seen that Winnington was climbing strongly. I was a bit 'dead' at the bottom, I struggled in the last 100 , and I missed finishing but it was a good race.” Thus Gregorio Paltrinieri spoke to Rai Sport after winning the bronze medal in the 800 meters freestyle at the World Swimming Championships in Doha. “I don't look too much at medals or medals no, I'm looking for real emotions, when I do races like this I get excited as if it were the first time. Once upon a time I would have been worse off, now I just want to experience that sensation. I feel I'm truly alive when I start like this, there's a lot more up for grabs. Something triggers inside me that's beautiful and that I try to rediscover race after race. Today I was looking for a good feeling and a good emotion”, concluded Paltrinieri.
