After 12 years we will be in the team test. At the World Championships in Antwerp, the sixth score earned promotion for Bartolini and his teammates: “A dream crowned”
The Italian artistic gymnastics team secures the pass for the Paris 2024 Olympics in the team event, where it has been missing since London 2012. After the six rotations of the qualifications for the World Championships in Antwerp, the Azzurri finish with the sixth score (248,796) which is worth the qualification for the final of the world championship and qualification for the Games. Japan is in the lead. “It’s a result we imagined – says ‘captain’ Nicola Bartolini, outgoing floor exercise champion but out of the eight-man final in Antwerp -. It was difficult, but it is an indescribable achievement. Many times, I won’t deny it, we have been tempted not to pack our bags to go to certain races, we all have our problems. But the secret is that we are strong, we have had exponential growth in recent years, both on an individual and team level. We fulfilled a dream. It was difficult, complicated moments were overcome, but now we are here to celebrate. We are strong, in the last two years we have had exponential growth, both individually and as a team. A work carried out by everyone at 360 degrees.”
