The bronze medal for the men's relay team consisting of Tommaso Dotti, Andrea Cassinelli, Yuri Confortola and Pietro Sighel in the 5000m came in the photo finish, just 9 thousandths ahead of the Russian team. Ahead of the Azzurri were Canada (gold) and Korea (silver).
Arianna FontanaOn the other hand, she won silver in the women's 1500m and reached 11 personal Olympic medals, writing the history of Italian short track and becoming the Italian athlete with the most medals ever at the Winter Olympic Gamesahead of Stefania Belmondo. Arianna thus places her third medal in these Olympic Games.
Nothing to do instead in the men's slalom: Giuliano Razzoli, the first of the Italians, finished in eighth place, 26 hundredths off the podium. Visibly moved, at the discovery+ microphones Giuliano said:
"On the one hand there is satisfaction because I came here and fought: it was my goal not to come here to participate but to bring home a medal. I came close. 26 hundredths is a few but it is also a lot. I could do it, I did a great second run. It's my last Olympics. I believed in it but it was good. I'm 37 years old, so many injuries and so many problems. It's clear that finishing with an Olympic medal was my dream. It goes on. It means that I cannot finish today and I will try to finish with some important results. The Olympics in Italy is a beautiful thing but I think I can't do it. "
