Unbelievable misadventure for Gregorio Paltrinieri
Incredible misadventure for Gregorio Paltrinieri. The Italian swimmer, in fact, directly from the hospital announced via his own social channels that he broke his elbow during the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics, in which he paraded, together with his partner Rossella Fiamingo, as Italy's flag bearer.
"I broke my elbow on the night of the closing ceremony,” the Emilian outfielder wrote in a story posted on his Instagram profile. Not to wave the flag forò. That è was nice. Already had surgery, will be back soon".
Greg, a bronze medalist in the 800 freestyle and a silver medalist in the 1500 freestyle, wrote swimming history at the Paris Olympic Games, becoming the first Italian swimmer ever to go on the podium in three consecutive Olympics.
