Cycling and its world can also teach other sports. And it is a school that leads to victories! She confirmed it last night Nadia Battocletti, which he conquered the European 5,000 meters title also setting the championship record and new Italian record with the time of 14:35:29.
Immediately after her feat, the twenty-four-year-old thirty-year-old daughter of art – father Giulianowho coaches her, was an Italian middle-distance runner and marathon runner – he celebrated with the tricolor wrapped around his shoulders and explained: «Dad told me to do like Pogacar, “get out last and go”. This is a really important victory because I’ve been through some difficult times. The dedication is for myself. I have to thank my parents and my psychologist».
And here comes cycling again, because the psychologist in question is Elizabeth Borgia, former cyclist and wife of Marco Aurelio Fontana (bronze in the XCO in London 2021), but above all psychologist for Lidl Trek, Trek MTB and the Italian national cycling team.
That’s all? No, let’s add one more detail: Nadia Battocletti relies on the Mapei Sport Research Center for the tests and to be supported in the training sessions organized by dad Giuliano.
Next appointment for Nadia? The Paris 2024 Olympics!
