“I dedicate this special medal to my family, with mom staying here, the federation, my clubs and the team who have always supported me. I approached the final quite calmly having clear my goal”.
“I was yes determined but without too much pressure and that was the right way. The day was very long between eliminations from the meter, team event and then the final. Sunday break, I recharge and we start again with a lot of enthusiasm and ambition” concluded Pellacani.
