The words of Giorgia Villa

Giorgia Villa was also among the Allianz ambassadors celebrated Thursday morning in Milan after the Paris 2024 Olympics: "How much does this medal weigh? So much! This medal è really a revenge for me".

"In Tokyo I couldn’t go because of an injury. When I è was read the team for Paris I was in tears, let alone when I won the medal. So è it was really great to participate in such an important competition. And I still get emotional thinking about all that time, all the time done in the village. It weighs a lot but è really a fantastic achievement", he told Sportal.it.

"Our goal was precisely to win a medal. We were not thinking about silver, we were aiming for bronze. We were stronger than Brazil. I am proud of my teammates, my coaches and especially the biggest thank you goes to my parents. If I made it here è also thanks to them, who when I was little took me from the house to the gym every time".

"Obviously, the biggest goals are in 2028, forò there's the Serie A in February so we already start working for that. The state of preservation of the medal? All good, all good, è at home, I don&#39t touch it because it gets ruined. Forò every now and then I go to check if there'è becauseé I can go over a little bit; all the emotions".
