It wasn’t easy to find each other again after the injury that occurred to her sister Asia D’Amato during the qualifications of the European Championships, but during the race she was able to hold back the tears and managed to complete the race, putting silver around her neck in the individual general competition. Tears that he fought back before the specialty finals today at the Rimini Fair, leveraging stubbornness, dedication and professionalism. For the umpteenth time it has knew how to tame the difficulties in a career who never gave her anything.
Today the 21 year old from Genoa packed an exercise in luxury on her uneven bars, confirming herself as European Champion after the seal of twelve months ago: a double within the year, a feat worthy of few excellences on the international circuit. Among other things, her palmares also include the bronze in Szczecin in 2019 and the silver in Munich in 2022, when the German Ellie Seitz prevailed with a somewhat homely verdict. Before her, no Italian had celebrated on the stands on the continental field (indeed, none of her had ever even climbed onto the podium), today the Italian has signed a deadly one-two, giving himself a golden brace that consigns him to history. All to be dedicated to your twin on an epochal day for the art of our country.
