Notes

“The strength to continue comes from the desire to pursue my dreams. When I pursue a dream, I set myself a goal, I do everything to pursue it.” The Tokyo 2020 leotard worn by Vanessa FERRARI (ITA) commemorates Italy’s first medal in an individual event in women’s artistic gymnastics. It is also a symbol of the length of Vanessa’s career, as she is only the second gymnast aged over 30 to win an Olympic medal despite suffering numerous injuries throughout her career.
