And what I want to bring Rio driving this Italian team has the will to fight, to never give up no matter what. the 2012 controversy made me very badly. Because I am very patriotic. For me to decline the opportunity to carry the banner was a rather logical, perhaps to the experts it was not, but the day after the ceremony i had the 400-meter freestyle, one of my most important races. This time i do not do the 400, i will relay that is less expensive. for the first time on 4 He will participate at the Olympic games opening ceremony. it seems absurd to say it, but the swimming competitions begin right away. ” CONI president has also had words for Flavia Pennetta: “I would like it to Rio 2016.
