A medal in the 4 × 100 relay had never arrived for Italy. Of all the relay races at the Olympics, only one was remembered, that of the 4 × 200 in Athens 2004, with a generation of phenomena such as Rosolino, Brembilla, who is about to end the adventure in the pool, and Filippo Magnini. Now there is a medal. The blue relay composed by Alessandro Miressi, Thomas Ceccon, Lorenzo Zazzeri. Manuel Frigo won silver, behind only the United States in Tokyo 2020.
«We are very happy, we have been really good, a great relay», said Miressi from Turin, hope also for the individual, «We are really happy and happy with this silver».
Italy qualified with the best time and the Italian record in 3’10 “29, but improved it in the final in 3’10” 11. They are all young and it is a great hope for the entire blue movement, victim of the long closure of the pool due to Covid. They frequent them from Turin to Verona, passing through Varese and Florence and do not feel the distance. «A path that comes from afar, we managed to create a beautiful alchemy even outside the tank».
Also Nicolò “Tete” Martinenghi had to change the training pool due to the pandemic from Brebbia to Legnano. However, this did not change his determination. His first medal in blue swimming is: bronze in the 100 breaststroke behind the gold of Adam Peaty, the Brit who hasn’t lost for seven years, and the Dutchman Kamminga.
«I want to dedicate this medal to many people: to my team, family, girlfriend, friends and those who have been close to me even with just a message. But there is an extra special dedication to my first coach, Franco: he is experiencing a bit of a difficult moment and I hope this medal will help him a lot, “said the blue after the match.
Silver for Diana Bacosi in skeet. The blue had been gold in the same specialty as skeet shooting at Rio 2016. He missed the shotgun by just one target. In front of her the American Amber English, bronze to the Chinese Wei Meng. Umbra from Città della Pieve has a 12-year-old son who, like in Rio, saw his mother win on TV.
In the afternoon the silver also arrived for Daniele Garozzo, outgoing Olympic champion, in men’s foil. In the final against Cheung Ka Long, from Hong Kong, he had problems with cramps. The future doctor is not yet thirty years old and will be able to try again.
