Stellar Italy: two more golds at the Track Cycling World Championships underway in Roubaix , gold for the team pursuit quartet, gold for Letizia Paternoster in the elimination. Two clear, well-deserved, historic world titles. The quartet of top Ganna arrived after 24 years but immediately after the Tokyo Olympic gold medal. The triumph of Letizia after a very heavy two-year ordeal: invested in training, knee injury, Covid .
Nothing to do at the Tokyo Olympics from where she came back in pieces
Few believed in his rebirth, moreover so sudden. And instead the rebirth (his words) has been there. And how! The talent did the rest. And at the Stab velodrome he found his winning step there. For the joy (also) of social networks; on Instagram it already has 217,000 followers. Just 22 years old, thirty from Cles – five World Championships and eight European Championships as juniors, seven Elite World Championships – can still give Italy many satisfactions.
The quartet is extraordinary
We remember the magnificent blue musketeers Filippo Ganna, Francesco Lamon, Simone Consonni, Liam Bertazzo . The same ones from Tokyo (at the Olympics there was Lamon in place of the Paduan Bertazzo). Super Pippo guarantees: “And that's not all“. This gold bis, only two and a half months after the Olympics, is a legendary feat. No one has ever succeeded.
More than positive results. Three golds in the first two days of Roubaix. The opening gold was brought home by Martina Fidanza in scratch. Sunday will be done. However, the start was excellent: Italy first in the medal table with three golds and one silver. So the magical year continues, the golden rain continues. Roubaix does well. After Colbrelli's triumph, the medals arrive on the track. Once again the French are gnawing.
