Olympics, Simona Quadarella è destroyed: "It was the most important race of my life"
Simona Quadarella commented very disappointed about her fourth place in the 1500 freestyle at the Paris 2024 Olympics. L'Azzurra was really counting on a medal after being among the best in the world for years: "I struggled so much, a very tiring race. For me è a huge disappointment, I am honest. The time è good, but I was so tired and by the end my legs were bursting".
Simona fears that she missed her big chance: "I am sorry, there's been a battle against two athletes that in the last races I had always beaten. I felt pretty good and maybe for that I am very sorry".
On the causes of her performance: "There'was maybe too much tension. I experienced it as the most important competition of my life, because I don't know how I'll get to the next Olympics. It was my last cartridge and itè went like this. It was not what I wanted. Now let’s see the 800, but I don’t feel like the 1500".
