(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 22 – “I don’t know if I really need to say something about today, but everyone is asking me so I’ll tell you what I think. Today something beautiful happened, a great friend of mine and an athlete who I really respect him and he has been chosen to be the standard-bearer at the next Olympics and I can only be overjoyed for him.” Gregorio Paltrinieri, who was also among those eligible to represent Italy at the next Paris Games, wanted to express his esteem and congratulations towards Gianmarco Tamberi, chosen as standard bearer paired with Arianna Errigo. “It is an incredible achievement, a great responsibility but also a privilege that we would all like to experience in our lives – the swimming Olympian writes on Instagram -. A choice simply had to be made, probably also subjective and as such I accept the verdict. There is no envy or resentment in my soul at the moment, I am happy to be able to follow him together with Arianna Errigo (an incredible athlete too) in this great experience that is the Olympics. Much love for our captains. they told me it would be in 2021 but nothing, they told me then 2024, but nothing, they force me to… oh well I won’t say it.” (HANDLE).
