Paris 2024 Olympics, Consonni and Viviani in silver

Silver Cycling

Second medal of the day for Italy at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which moves to 38, -2 from Tokyo’s haul (not counting the Italvolley girls who will surely be on the podium tomorrow after the final of the women’s volleyball tournament).

After the bronze medal in rhythmic gymnastics, è came the silver in the track cycling madison for Simone Consonni and Elia Viviani, who were for three quarters of the race in front of everyone, except to be overtaken by Portugal with ten laps to go. The two Azzurri, despite a crash that forced our captain to the stroardinari at the last five-ring race, gritted their teeth, finishing ahead of Denmark and New Zealand.

Italy won a total of 40 medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, setting a new record for haul in a single edition of the Games. Ten gold medals, as many silver medals and 20 bronze medals as well.
