Fiamingo Celebrates Olympic Success with Team Spirit and Presidential Support

(LaPresse) “Mattarella? We have already marked September 23 on our agenda; we have a great relationship with the President, he always supports us, understands sports, and wanted to reward the fourth places, which is a beautiful gesture. And then his image in the rain during the opening. That day it rained non-stop, but he wanted to be there.” Rossella Fiamingo, gold medalist in team fencing at Paris 2024, has landed in Fiumicino, accompanied by her “Olympic” partner, Gregorio Paltrinieri. Happy and enthusiastic, she gave herself to the journalists who had been waiting for her at the airport since the morning. “This time we beat the men; the fact that we participated was definitely significant because we were equal in number to the men: we achieved incredible results. We are a fantastic group, men and women; we Italians are very united. Then I saw Greg compete for the first time and it was wonderful; I wasn’t nervous because he looked calm. For our Olympics in general, it was beautiful; we wanted to win a medal each, we had promised ourselves and it happened. Then yesterday we celebrated together; we represented Italy. We really enjoyed it.”
