Paris 2024 Olympics, Tita-Banti strike gold. And that’s 10!
Paris 2024 Olympics: Tita-Banti d'gold and it's 10!
Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti are confirmed as Olympic champions in the Nacra 17. After their triumph in Tokyo 2020, the Italian pair repeated their success in the waters of Marseille, hitting the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics as well.
In the Medal Race, postponed to Thursday due to insufficient wind, Tita and Banti needed only a seventh place to graduate as champions, but the Italian crew did not want to make any calculations, finishing in second place, behind France.
With this victory Italy climbs to ten golds in the medal table, including two just in sailing. In addition to Tita-Banti, in fact, Marta Maggetti had also won gold in women’s windsurfing.
Italy won a total of 40 medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, setting a new record in terms of spoils in a single edition of the Games. Ten gold medals, as many silver medals and 20 bronze medals as well. Will the Azzurri be able to do better in France?”
