Olympic champion
probably if no one will fight me
this record will remain the only one in the world
to win all the biggest titles
I am 67 but I write it in my curriculum
always 250 times I lost someone else
give a shit someone else asks me to part
clearly what I am going to do for you
tell a short story I do it
also in summary also because mine
races 90 seconds so I have to put
many years for that performance of 90
only sports seconds and lasts 90 seconds
in 2007 he was 23 years old
then at the height of physical strength
nice is nice he had practically the
world underfoot because the most
strong athlete had a federation that
it worked only for me I had the bike I had
2 3 1 pink in short to have master of the
world could buy anything and
because it was never marked by a pair
of years and I woke up in the morning and
we’ll see something that shone now
long on the right that was a medal
Olympic and radio I had been doing
this path this path for
take it in 2007 the pre-Olympic year before
of Beijing 2008
a week before the selections
nationals to be therefore in the
national team so I only have to
take a walk and then go
world-wide qualified for this
olympics the week before I take the
my bike will call my friends i
guys today let’s go slowly because one
week I already mate future
only that we see something in motion
it happens that looks a little cellini valleys e
mountains so many agreements that there is one
curve to the left then I am another and not
Can you support you it is about the bike
nothing happens just touched them
you had with the inertia protected part of the
wall 7 meters below was a stream
in dry
at that moment I heard a job
this of my guardian angel who has me
allowed to be here today because
really if you see the place either
impressive fact is that I get up
look up I see this moment I see i
my friends with these eyes like that
we’ll get climbing for this
moment alive that the motion is opposite are
happy
then comes a bit of shaking legs
hot that behind
fact is that I wake up in the hospital
stretched out or resign my angel
in fact, the guardian recently found more
moto happened because I can not
as much to cattle is the doctor makes it
you windows for 90 days of the summer
relaxed it happens that I was buying the
world it does not I found myself in bed
of hospital with this verdict of the
master doctor I started climbing
for ball and even lower than the certain
here’s the medal I was not there anymore
every morning I trained and from the real ones but
I do not see her again four days later
half clearly begin to think
all the various options goes well I will study
so far the universities will do other things
he will not find a rich short, there is
that I did not have to do any
thought is to get me up
but he could not part but were 68
years that I trained the federal doctor
looks me in the eye for maybe
convince me we lose moral place
says the premana the 45 days we do one
try if you were beard barriers
invoiced in short if it is consolidated
time working in water
at the same time he calls me from one
federation telling moments as you are
our number each if the tip of
diamond I was beginning to thank me
I had discarded the last selection there
we will make those newspapers that last race
we have 100 days of the accident
so if nothing else I have to stay still then
maybe 45 in the water ten days for
go dancing but perhaps I can
even the one that can more say shone
very far because I should never
off st of responsibilities I’ll weapons
I’ll try but I try 45 mom
presses but you love door in the pool enters
wind begins to work
I see faster because they are gods
moments where I do not wish them to anyone
you because you’re chasing this
dream
you’re suffering because the mistakes fall
some affections are probably made
he began to see the thing shining
for some mistake and I got in
hospital but done state ninety
Giovanni returns in decline but physically
we have not lost against me clearly
all the technical part was missing
sensitivity making 30 seconds e
he complains because I had to get off that
I was bad about my coach he was
realized what they were doing
certainly not to believe it
maybe more than he approaches the
penny day this race has arrived
we were very good race minds
in short, it will be very formal for the
pressure probably made me yes
that is not with the bad race i
others to beat me tried to do
something special and exceptional
in the end I won I qualify for i
world I go to the world and acupuncture
euro medicine for everything for me
licit
fifth in the world I qualify for
Beijing finally begins to revise
that medal goes back I read how
path I have done
I go to China begins the races begin
I do what I have to do with salt
semifinal I ‘m in the final I’m about to pay
part of this race from which, however, that the
taxes without beginning to be convinced
that can finally go hand and
take with the medal
the problem that to cancel that
of the hand I had to get out of the boat and
I did it before arrival at 20 meters
from the finish hide are stakes
and practically make the mistake
banal a mistake that vermelho
written in many but what a saint can do
that is eaten as never before everyone enters
in the air did not succeed for the
Clamorous defeat duck is not one
some favorites, in short, have a pressure
behind not so much on me
in short, it was one of those he owed
take that medal pass all
corner every three days are to dispose of
I wake up with the morning disappointed is
clearly I do not want to just come back to
home
in fact, my eyes and I see that it still shines
it’s written for in london
I call my coach for me
you think about it I do not know why but I know that
I can do it the same I know if
from the accident and from the whole I am
arrived here because he was not ready like
person here was not ready as an athlete
Help me the 13th medal trainer
Olympic won it twenty years before
London in 92 and from the books of a journey
I m at that time with china morning
they would immediately mature
agonistically I came out of being
the champion of having that
medal around the neck and began to
be a little more humble and how it’s from
say what I miss what I have
wrong to be aware of things
that at that moment I miss the
champion’s gym because you do it
performance and win some garette you are
stronger physically but in sport
that we play the medals cents
you know are those little things that
they make the difference with little things
I am learned began to research
I have done today that it is better they will be
I became the manager of myself
my doctor made my team
sports psychologist what to build from
2009 first European that world cup
the world are coming sta
maturing members partenope those is
arrived because I really did mine
performance with a given the hand and I have
got that medal in sport
bad bad because the olympics do not
there is nobody going to get second
they are all physically prepared strong
technically motivated
the difference I know I made it four
years before when from that defeat e
I realized that it was a bit like it
cocky arrogance that film
annoyance they wanted their own links
I did not
in London instead I did it from that
defeat given by a path where it gives
23 year old I will have the world I found myself in
enel hospital bed but it costs because
then I am convinced of winning I do not win
I have to take a step back and have to talk
man
I’m still what everyone is
expect
I’m not yet what I do
see the girl that only then I try
eliminate all these things all this
egoism because the end of egoism and has
I started to learn from that moment I have
I started to mature I started to
build slowly in moments one
man daniele a new athlete and I do not think
to be a talent because at age 14
Minimum crashed me there and I could not
skip not even m in the long jump but
from those defeated by that moment
started to build the sample that
then he came out I spoke to him house with
result of a little
the wish I make is clear that with
the discount is easy to give examples
because you work out, you have it
yes yes almost always, however, I can
be an example of what
training did not succeed he had to
learn from that mistake from that
defeat must have returned back
human and then begin that journey
that building it as a manager like it does
a company really had my budget
I have to do certain things a lot
meticulous if we want to be of
have a lot in looking for the details
because to have powered engineer
to build the custom boat first
weight
then I had 10 part of the discarded style
to get to the right one he had one
diet and for profits 30 days not
I had to make a mess because I wanted to
be sure nothing was left
random chance exist but at random
there is a way to overcome them I would do it
I came out with some doctors
they gave me confidence I managed
comfortable and well killer of painkillers
important but I managed and is the
which is more important than sports
what he did to me he did me
grow as a man made me understand
that any dream I felt transformed
as a goal
and we work contests with method then
fast reach anything there
they are the people who help you
finding the right ones will dance and
continue to make mistakes, repeat those
four years before London I won
many but I’ve lost many more to
every defeat reached small pieces
to build that sample that is then
come out of here that does his own
soon be happy when you are in
down and just from there you can go back
be happy when you’re wrong
because from there you will be able to
learn to make the same mistake in us
My sport I have succeeded and will come
remembered for that medal
I do not like to remember the 250 anymore
times I’ve lost because they have me there
made to become the man I am the
sample that I have been for example that
maybe for some of you this one
push to become a person
best good luck
[Applause]
