Arianna Fontana in the flower ceremony touches the podium before getting on it: "This is my podium, I wanted it and get back on that step ... I did it", are her first words after the race.
"In the final I saw in the first start that Schulting wanted at all costs to take the lead. I let her go and then when she started making trails I decided it was time to attack. Normally I don't exaggerate when I win but today , when I crossed the finish line, my scream was a moment of release and release for everything we have been through in recent years Anthony (Leobello, husband and coach) has been my rock in these years.
The president of Coni Giovanni Malago, in the minutes immediately following the conclusion of the final, declared: "Arianna, you are in history! You moved me. What suffering! I lived this final totally in apnea, in my room, not being able to be there yet. at your side, to palpitate and rejoice with you. With this tenth medal you have reached Stefania Belmondo at the top of the most medalized blue athletes in the history of Italian sport. And you know well that it is not over yet "
"I thank you - continues Malago", complimenting Arianna Fontana - for what you have done and for what you will do. Coni will always be by your side. Congratulations to Anthony and the Federation for what they have done in these four years of hard work. Arianna, you are the greatest of all time and we can say that today you deserve 10 and praise "
