Paris 2024: Pizzolato bronze 89kg weightlifting, I put my heart and soul into it
“I put my heart and soul into it. The video review for the third lift? The rules are clear, I didn’t bend my elbow but my shoulder, so thanks to them for the change of judgment, but we believed in the validity of the lift. I had a huge pain in my back, I saw my coach in the face, we suffered together, I couldn’t give up. When I heard that the test wasn’t valid I didn’t believe it, then when they changed in front all the bad things that had happened up to now passed away”. This was stated by Antonino Pizzolato, bronze medalist in Paris 2024 in weightlifting 89kg. “The injury never went away, we tried to keep it as bearable as possible, but when I showed up there it was like my brain shut down. My dedication? To all the people who were close to me.”
