After winning the bronze medal in the 800 meters and silver in the 1500, Paltrinieri hoped to bring home another great result in the 10 km swim in the Seine. Unfortunately, it didn't go as he hoped. The Italian è collapsed in the final part of the race, finishing with the ninth final time, far behind the best.
In the post-race, the azure explained soì his difficulties suffered during the race in the Seine. After a good start, the Italian star è got lost in the final: "Every time I started, I could not break away. I couldn’t find my rhythm".
L'azure then focused on the near future: "It has been three endless years with so many problems. Now I just know that I have to take a break and disconnect for a while'. Then I have to make some decisions. It could be my last race", his clear words.
Paltrinieri, class of 1994, with participation in Paris 2024, è arrived at his fourth Olympics. With the two medals won in Paris 2024, the Carpi-born Italian è reached five Olympic medals, becoming the most successful Italian swimmer ever at the Games. His farewell would be a real shame for the blue swimming world.
