The remedy is to break all the clay pigeons, as I did today. In Italy we are an example to everyone thanks to Fitav, and Paris (the 2024 Games ed) is close. I’m even happier because today I beat two Olympians: now my heart is beating a thousand. The future? When I stop I would like to be a coach, but it’s not easy after 25 years around the world “.
