However, from the words of Cesario, emerges a clear discomfort results are not always in line with his expectations: "It '' very difficult to explain the reasons that led me to retire even if I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. The Truth & agrave; & egrave; that in the face of every important decision of life is necessary to listen to the heart and make us & ograve; it is considered more & ugrave; just to s & egrave; same. For those who follow things dall''esterno, I think it is difficult to understand how there is something more & ugrave; over your scores at the end of an event. As a skater, I have always been proud of the ability & agrave; of esibirmi before the public, but unfortunately the new scoring system does not fit my strengths and that did not always & egrave; easy to deal with. Often, as with many athletes, I felt frustration for scores that did not reflect what actually expressed on the track, but I'm still proud of the contribution to the sport and ready to move on to the next chapter of life. "
For the 'immediate future, the' intention & egrave; to devote himself full time to the role of coach after gi & agrave; taken the first steps in this direction in recent years: "I really like what I'm doing now and I'm thrilled dall''idea to learn every day something more & ugrave; nell''essere just across the balustrade. It ' 'nice to follow the young skaters and see what kind of impact it can have in their life. I can not wait' time to share my talent and everything & ograve; I learned during my racing career with the next generation of skaters. "
Cesario in recent years has faced a few crashes too able to & ograve; to go beyond the physical problems: "I've certainly been through a lot and often I managed to push my body to the limit. I am proud of the tenacity and had to always be able to overcome all problems. I hope I can become a source of inspiration for all those skaters and athletes forced to work every day pi & ugrave; hard to overcome the obstacles encountered along the way. "
In the words of farewell, not & egrave; lack of satisfaction with the feeling found with the free program of the last two seasons, skated to the tune of "Carmen" by Bizet: "I have never felt so & Igrave; at ease with any other program. For sure, it will & agrave; difficult, almost painful, do not run it more & ugrave ;. In particular, the support that I received from the public during the last national championships is something hard to describe and that dimenticher & ograve ;. In general, the lessons and discipline given me in this sport are priceless and I do not change it with anything else. "
