Andrea Giovannini gives Italy another medal on the penultimate day of the Milan Cortina 2026 Games, taking bronze in the men&#8217s speed skating mass start at the Milan Speed Skating Stadium. It was a test of great lucidity and endurance, allowing the Bel Paese to celebrate its 30th overall medal, further updating the already beaten record as far as the Winter Olympic Games are concerned. There are now fourteen bronze medals, with ten golds and six silvers.

The race was marked from the first laps by the escape of Dutchman Bergsma, who was able to take the margin and direct the race. Giovannini remained in the group, finding lap after lap the useful points to play for the medals until the end. A choice rewarded by the second medal for him in an already extraordinary Olympics: a few days ago Giovannini had contributed to the’gold in the team pursuit, together with Davide Ghiotto and Michele Malfatti, signing a historic result for the Italian speed skating movement.
