(ANSA) – ROME, 19 JAN – “An important medal. I have always dreamed of it, every day of my life and long before arriving in the Olympic final. After Tokyo, after the triumphs of Gianmarco, Marcell, of the captain Antonella , Massimo and the 4×100… I don’t want to wait a minute longer. After all, what is a record without a medal? “. The record is the historic 63.66 set in June 1996 by Agnese Maffeis, the words are by Daisy Osakue (Fiamme Gialle), who in Tokyo equaled the record record by one centimeter. “It was the greatest emotion I’ve ever felt. When you start throwing, the first thing you learn are the Italian records. Maffeis’s is in 1996, the year I was born, and being able to say I’m unique to be able to launch as she is a pride “.

On Atletica TV the Piedmontese tells of a 2021 that counts an Olympic final, an absolute Italian record and the conclusion of five years of studies at the University of San Angelo, in Texas.

“Twelve months on a roller coaster. The love I’ve always had for athletics this year has exploded, multiplied. My childhood dreams came true within two weeks and what I did will stay with me forever. . From the moment I arrived in Japan, heart in my mouth, the Games have been a constant celebration for me and my teammates, a sort of domino effect of endings and successes. ” Despite a serious back problem: “The season started well with 61.19, but the week after I got hurt: a hernia. It was March, I was worried about the ranking, for the Absolutes and for a season that seemed compromised. . With Maria Marello we were able to reinvent training while protecting the back and in Rovereto I launched my second ever measure, 61.55: a liberation “.

Now the blue faces a 2022 full of ambitions. “Eugene World Championships and European Championships in Munich on everything, passing through the Mediterranean Games. But first of all I can’t wait to compete in the Winter Throwing Absolutes, which I have followed from the United States for several years. it’s keeping my explosiveness, learning to use the whole platform. And then I’ll have to be patient, listen to my body and adapt to how it has changed. ” (HANDLE).
