Paris 2024 Olympics, a victory strongly desired for Gabriele Rossetti and Diana Bacosi
These are the words of Gabriele Rossetti to ANSA after the Mixed Skeet awarding ceremony of the Games together with Diana Bacosi: “The gold of Rio will always remain the medal of my heart, but only those who live next to me know how è it was hard. I am super happy, too bad about the individual competition but my destiny here was to win in the Mixed together with Diana. On the podium I looked up becauseé every medal I win è for my father".
" We complemented each other – says Diana Bacosi – When I was a little bit in trouble, just a glance from him was enough to reassure me. In the finals we put our heart and soul into it. Three medals in three Olympics for me è so much stuff, now I continue until Los Angeles".
"We are super-happy and proud, this medal was needed, we needed it – Rossetti says again. &It was hard to prepare myself, I always had that thought, I said to myself 'but will I make it without him? ' (her father Bruno, her first coach and then coach of France, who passed away in 2018 ed.). We put our hearts into it, Diana gave me confidence and trust, è it was beautiful”.
“I had said before I left that I would beat Hancock,and I did it even though he è a myth. I would have liked to do it in the individual as well, but that's okay. Today with Diana we said 'let's give everything and have fun'. After a perfect qualification, in the finals we had even more fun; we believed in each other and that made the difference".
Diana Bacosi recalls that " I left Italy that I already had a bit of fever, then it takes a bit of time to get over the medicine and thatò affected me in the individual competition and for that I am really sorry. Però we made up for it with this medal together with Gabriele. I know that I am strong, although there are colleagues who are as strong as I am. Who do I look up to? I feel like Kimberly Rhode, a legend of my sport".
